The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, or NSCDC, has recognized 206 newly promoted officers in Kogi state.
Speaking at the event, Akinlade Esther, the Kogi State Commandant of the NSCDC, urged the newly promoted officers to double their efforts in preserving the nation’s important assets and to continue the battle against crimes and criminalities.
Akinlade reminded the officers that their promotion to a new rank represents a call to greater service in Nigeria, and that the NSCDC under her command will ensure that Kogi State is not a breeding ground for criminals.
She praised the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, and the Commandant General of the NSCDC, Ahmed Abubakar Audi, for rejuvenating and transforming the Corps into a beacon of success.
“It is critical to understand that human capital operating within any business is critical to attaining its goals. It is frequently highlighted that organizational success is dependent on dedicated staff.
“As a result, recognizing and promoting eligible personnel in a timely manner is critical to avoiding the risk of keeping a demoralized workforce that does not fully match with the Corps’ goals and objectives.

“It is imperative to note that promotion doesn’t emanate from north, south, east nor west but from God and, however, usually comes along with a great responsibility which heightens the higher level of loyalty, courage, discipline, and professionalism particularly in the face of evolving and intricate challenges posed by modern-day crime,” Akinlade observed.
Military and paramilitary officers, as well as traditional rulers, who saw the ceremony urged the officers to further up their efforts to combat insecurity in the country.
