He said: “We are aware of the deteriorating state of Insecurity in the nation; hence all hands must be on deck, the political class, government and individuals must support the security operatives by providing necessary logistics to enhance their operations” he said.

While congratulating the Commandant General for his appointment by Mr President; Governor Abubakar reiterated that the State Government has made available an expanse of land and other temporary facilities for the smooth takeoff of Civil Defence Training College at Kontagora which is currently awaiting Inspection and subsequent possession by the Corps. 

In his response, the NSCDC CG threw light on the three mandates of the Corps which centers on Safeguarding all Critical National Assets and Infrastructure, Disaster management as well as Training, Supervision and Monitoring of Private Guard Companies. He also reiterated the deployment of over 7,000 Specially trained Agro Rangers Squad with the responsibility of securing farmers and the Agro Allied Industries across the nation. 

Audi said that the style of terrorist attack in Nigeria is called asymetric warfare which is different from the conventional war the nation is used to, but could be won if the battle is taken directly to the enemiies camp; stressing that the NSCDC is fully ready to collaborate with other stakeholders in tackling Insecurity across board. 

He however appealed to the federal government for the recruitment of more personnel into the NSCDC as this would enhance her operational efficiency and security coverage

Director General of the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps, Rt. Hon. Yusuf Buba Yakub has joined numerous individuals, groups and countries across the globe to mourn the passing of Nigeria ‘s former President, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (Retd) who passed away at 82.

In a message he personally signed and made available to the public, late Sunday, the former lawmaker said the entire nation was particularly saddened by the sudden passing of a man who gave his all to Nigeria as a soldier, a politician, a mentor to many as well as a nationalist.

Yakub, who emphasized that the former Nigerian leader, would forever live in the hearts and minds of generations of Nigerians who knew him and those who would, eventually, read about his incorruptibility and altruistic approach to service, conveyed heartfelt sympathies to President Tinubu, the former President’s immediate family and to all Nigerians.

Yakub message read in part: “On behalf of the Nigerian Technical Aid Corps (NTAC) and its Management, I convey our heartfelt condolences to the family, government and good people of Nigeria, under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on the passing of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

“While we mourn this great soldier, nationalist and Leader, we remember his dedication to democracy, regional stability, and the unity of Nigeria, as well as his unwavering commitment to the anti-corruption crusade, which endeared him to many Nigerians.”

The NTAC boss while praying for the forgiveness of the sins of Buhari, suggested
that a great national monument, like the Federal Secretariat, Abuja, be named after the late leader.

He said: ” May Allah grant him Aljana firdausi and grant his family and entire Nigerians the fortitude to bear the loss.”

Born in Daura, Katsina State in 1942,the former President distinguished himself as a soldier,a politician and a national hero of all time.Having held the position of Nigerian leader twice, a Federal Commissioner of Petroleum,a Military Governor of what is today the Northeast Geopolitical Zone as well as the head of Abacha’s development behemoth,the Petroleum Trust Fund,among others, Buhari in service was acknowledged to have lived above board and held his head high as an incorruptible Nigerian.

He will be remembered more by the principles he espoused in leadership than the monuments he built for self, kith or kin.
