NSCDC AT THE FOREFRONT OF RESOURCE SECURITY IN AFRICA

At the Africa Security Symposium 2025 held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) reaffirmed its commitment to protecting Africa’s natural wealth and critical infrastructure.

Representing the Commandant General, Dr. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, mni, OFR, ACG Muktar Lawal, mni (ACG Training) delivered a presentation titled:

“Safeguarding Africa's Natural Resources: The Strategic Role of the NSCDC in Combating Illegal Mining, Vandalism, and Resource Sabotage.”

The paper outlined the Corps’ statutory roles in safeguarding oil pipelines, power installations, mining zones, and other critical national assets. It also emphasized the NSCDC’s operational achievements in combating illegal mining, dismantling illicit refineries, and preventing economic sabotage.

As a national security agency with a mandate rooted in protection, enforcement, and community engagement, the NSCDC continues to evolve through inter-agency collaboration, intelligence sharing, and the integration of modern technology into its operations.

The Corps’ presence at the symposium reflects Nigeria’s strong voice in the continental push for unified action against transnational resource crimes and a shared vision for sustainable development across Africa.
