NSCDC Harps On Synergy Among Security Agencies

The Nigeria Security and
Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), yesterday, called for stronger synergy among all the security agencies across the country.
The Zonal Commander of NSCDC Zone E, Owerri, ACG Mohammed Hassan Lapai, made the call when he paid a one day working visit to the Command headquarters in Abakaliki.
Lapai, who condemned the attitude of some security operatives who are usually in the habit of causing disaffection among their colleagues, noted that such action was capable of portraying security agencies in a bad light before the members of the public.
He emphasised that synergy among all security agencies in the country would foster effectiveness in the fight against crimes and criminality and ensure adequate protection of lives and property.
He further identified selfishness and lack of patriotism as the factors purportedly responsible for lack of synergy in the force.
The Zonal Commander advised security agencies to carry out their duties with the mind-set that they are all working for the federal government and nobody else.
Earlier, the Commandant of the Corps in the state, Jibril Shuayb, who welcomed the zonal Commander of NSCDC in charge of zone E and other heads of different security agencies present at the event stated that the command was determined to fulfill its core mandate in the state.
The Sector Commander, Ebonyi sector Command, Abakaliki, Charles Aborchi, explained that the challenge of synergy within the force was often caused by security personnel within the rank and file.
He advised Heads of security operatives in the state to carry out constant sensitisation of their men on the matter.
