Akwa Ibom State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Bashaar Hussein, has affirmed that the efficient and competent intelligence network conceptualised by Dr Ahmed Abubakar Audi, Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, across all State NSCDC Commands, serves as a cardinal foundation for achieving and maintaining security in Akwa Ibom State.
He noted that such intelligence-gathering measures have been instrumental in thwarting incidents that could have escalated security challenges in the state.
Speaking shortly after receiving a copy of CG Audi’s 787-page compendium of achievements from its author, Isiaka Mustapha, CEO/Editor-in-Chief of People’s Security Monitor, Commandant Hussein described CG Audi as a divine and timely gift to the NSCDC, designed and packaged by God to save the organization in its precarious moments.
He emphasised that, apart from CG Audi’s initiated valid intelligence network, his leadership has introduced numerous innovations that have indeed fortified the NSCDC ahead of time.
“Let me say, without fear of contradiction, that the NSCDC in Akwa Ibom State has remained a consistently result-oriented security agency, excelling in all areas of its statutory mandate. We have thoroughly explored the best practices in intelligence gathering, which continue to prevent insecurity and mitigate any form of threat to the well-being of the state. Furthermore, we have maximized our prosecutorial mandate to ensure that all actionable cases are taken to the court of law for proper legal prosecution.
Our personnel have undergone continuous training and retraining, significantly boosting their capacity. The truth is, we couldn’t have achieved this level of success without the exceptional leadership of the NSCDC. The Commandant General is not resting on his laurels, and it has been a series of remarkable achievements throughout.” said Commandant Hussein.
