NSCDC BOSS CHARGES PERSONNEL ON PROFESSIONALISM AND INTEGRITY IN VIP PROTECTION

The Commandant General (CG) of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Prof. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, mni, OFR, has issued a stern mandate to officers to uphold the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and commitment in the protection of Very Important Persons (VIPs).

The CG gave this charge during his keynote address at a three-day VIP leadership and management workshop held at the NSCDC National Headquarters in Abuja. The intensive training brought together state commandants, VIP commanders, and armorers from across the federation.

Prof. Audi emphasized that the mandate for VIP protection, as conferred by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, is a sacred trust that must not be compromised. He warned that his administration maintains a zero tolerance policy for any form of misconduct.

"This administration will sanction any personnel found sabotaging the Corps' efforts in implementing the VIP mandate," the CG stated. "This responsibility must be carried out to the admiration of the government and Nigerians to justify the confidence reposed in us."

The workshop, organized under the Directorate of Training and Manpower Development, serves as a strategic intervention to sharpen the tactical and administrative skills of the Corps’ leadership.

Acting Deputy Commandant General Muktar Lawal, mni, explained that the curriculum focuses on:

strengthening leadership capacity and management skills.

Improving interdepartmental coordination.

Reinforcing professionalism in armory management and decision-making.

The CG underscored the importance of excellence by commending the VIP National Commander, Deputy Commandant of Corps Anyor Donald, for his professionalism and loyalty, urging others to embrace similar qualities.

The event featured goodwill messages from the Corps' top brass, including Deputy Commandants General Zakari Ibrahim Ningi, fdc; Nnamdi Nwinyi; Pedro Awili Ideba; and Professor Tyoor Frederick Terhemba, all echoing the need for heightened accountability in the field.
