Enugu: The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has decorated no fewer than 280 personnel newly-promoted serving in various units, departments and squads within Enugu State.
The unprecedented number of newly-promoted personnel, which cut across various ranks, started with the rank of Deputy Commandant of Corps to the level of rank-and-file.
Decorating the officers on Thursday in Enugu, the Commandant of NSCDC Enugu State Command, Mr Muhammed Dada, tasked the newly-decorated officers to double their efforts and shun laziness in all forms.
Dada noted that everybody, both the newly-decorated and entire staff needed to adjust to hard work, adding: “There are no two ways about it and you cannot be under me and be docile”.
According to him, we should also be our brother’s keeper and learn to work as a team and as a family in order to achieve a common goal for the overall good of the Command.
“As a Command, we must uphold professionalism and excellence in our service and ensure that everyone contributes to the success of the Command,” he said.
Dada thanked the Commandant-General (C-G) of the Corps for his continued support to the Command and for the welfare of personnel.
The Commandant also urged the residents of Enugu State to support NSCDC in its quest to rid-off the state of infrastructure vandals.
“We need the support of all, especially in the area of timely and prompt information about vandals and other criminals that will be treated with utmost confidentiality,” he said.
Responding, newly-decorated Deputy Commandant of Corp, Abdullahi Rogo, assured the C-G and Commandant of a renewed zeal to fight vandals and other criminals disturbing the peace of Nigerians in Enugu State.
Rogo, who spoke on behalf of all newly-decorated, said: “Our dedication and commitment to duty and sacrifice to deliver on our task will be second to none henceforth”.
Speaking, newly-decorated Deputy Commandant of Corps, Helen Egwuonwu, thanked God, President Bola Tinubu, the Minister of Interior, C-G of NSCDC and the Commandant for making the promotion of an unprecedented number of personnel possible.
Egwuonwu, who is the Head of Department, Administration, said that the promotion would motivate her to put in more in the job and ensure adequate supervision of those under her department.
High points of the decoration were group photography sessions and the celebration of the newly-decorated by their families, friends and well wishers. (Flowerbudnews)
