NSCDC CG raises alarm over asymmetric warfare, destruction of National assets
The Commandant General of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC, Ahmed Abubakar Audi has raised the alarm over the growing threats of asymmetric warfare and rising criminal activities across the country.
He said this ranges from illegal oil bunkering to vandalism of critical National assets and infrastructure.
He warned that such acts of economic sabotage, if left unchecked, could have a grave impact on Nigeria’s economy, including its Gross Domestic Product, GDP.
He stated this in Umuahia at the Abia State Headquarters of NSCDC in Umuahia on Wednesday as part of his operational tour of the South East to evaluate the performance of personnel on ground.
Reiterating the NSCDC’s mandate to protect the nation’s critical infrastructure, the CG assured that the Corps was not relenting on its efforts to confront the threats head-on.
He emphasized that his ongoing tour across the region was part of a comprehensive strategy to gauge field performance, strengthen operational effectiveness, and enhance security outcomes in Abia and beyond.
Audi assured personnel of the Corps of his commitment to capacity development, timely payment of entitlements, and improved insurance cover, all of which he said were critical to achieving excellence in service delivery.
The CG of NSCDC, who seized the moment to commission an office complex built by the State Commandant, NSCDC, Abia State Command, CC Akinsola Aderemi at the State Command headquarters, commended the Commandant and urged him to redouble his efforts.
As part of the visit, the CG paid a courtesy call on the Governor Alex Otti.
