Commandant General of the Nigerian Civil Defence and Security Corps (NSCDC), Ahmed Abubakar Audi, has restated the commitment of the Corps towards prioritising the training of its personnel to achieving success in its constitutional duties.

The CG, who spoke to journalists in Abuja over the weekend, noted that doing so would help in equipping officers with global best practices.

He assured that the Corps is working round the clock to discharge it’s duties of protecting critical national assets

According to him, all aspects of training activities must be in line with acceptable best global practices, adding that it will receive priority to attain the desired professional requirements to bring to an end current security challenges facing the country..

He also noted that the Corps under his leadership is committed to the success of the Safe Schools initiative

“The national plan on safe schools was put in place to facilitate the prevention of attacks and effective protection of schools and host communities from violence and attacks,” he said.

Dr Audi stated that the safe schools programme has become necessary considering the importance of education on human capital development and the overall national development, thus making it expedient for government to deploy extraordinary measures to tackle the spate of attacks on school facilities in Nigeria.

The CG therefore called on members and stakeholders at the National Safe Schools Response Coordination Centre (NSSRCC) to provide expert support to the centre for effective implementation and success of the Safe Schools Programme.
