NSCDC Promises Security For Critical National Infrastructure
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Rivers State has reiterated its readiness to provide adequate security for Nigeria’s critical infrastructure.
The NSCDC Commandant in the State, Mr Michael Ogar, stated this recently while addressing newsmen in Port Harcourt.
Ogar, who was represented by the spokesman of the command, DSC Olufemi Ayodele, said the command would achieve that by trailing and arresting those engaged in bunkering and oil theft in the State.
The commandant said the command was against illegal bunkering and other forms of economic sabotage that would ruin the nation’s oil and gas sector.
Ogar called for co-operation from members of the public to enable the corps achieve its set goals.
He said with the synergy of sister agencies, the corps would work to ensure safety of national assets in the oil and gas sector.
Ayodele said the NSCDC would always map out strategies to fight illegal oil bunkering to safeguard critical national assets.
