May 1st of every year is a day set aside to celebrate workers as part of International Workers’ Day celebration across the world. It is in this spirit that the Commandant General, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Ahmed Abubakar Audi, PhD, mni, acknowledges and celebrates the amazing qualities, efforts, and resilience of all NSCDC personnel nationwide for giving their sweat and blood in building a great nation.
The Corps helmsman commended Officers and Men of the Corps for their hard work, dedication to duty and relentless efforts in justifying the mandates of securing lives and protecting Critical National Assets and Infrastructure of government which has contributed significantly to the growth and development of our country.
Dr Audi appreciates the Federal Government under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari, Grand Commander of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (GCFR), for supporting the Corps over the years and creating an enabling environment for officers and men of NSCDC to add value to the security architecture of the country.
While also appreciating his personnel for their support for his leadership in the last one year, he urges them to remain focused, dedicated and committed to the ideals and core values of NSCDC beyond the International Workers’ Day.

“You are the foundation and pillar upon which the Corps is fortified, I hold all of you in high esteem because you have given a good account of yourselves and the management could not have done anything without you. I must say that I am highly impressed and motivated by your performance and activities in actualizing our vision and mission for the service in the last one year that I came on board as your Commandant General. Let me assure you once again that I am determined to continue to improve your condition of service and to make life better for all of you across the board without leaving anyone behind,” CG said.
He seized the occasion of the Workers’ Day Celebration to thank his supervising Minister, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola for his confidence in the Corps and assured that the Corps will continue to make him proud and live up to expectations without compromising set standards.
He extols the gallantry of all officers and men of the Corps who have paid the supreme price while serving their father land and commiserate with their various families for holding forth in the absence of their loved ones who were equally dear to him being their father and leader.
He expressed sadness and empathized with the Benue State Command of the Corps which recently lost two of its gallant men in an ambush by bandits in the outskirts of Makurdi while on official duty and prayed that God will give the families of the slain Officers the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss. He however, assured them that whatever entitlements are due to any of the fallen heroes of the Corps in the line of duty will be paid to the last kobo under his administration without faltering.
“As your leader, I will continue to make your welfare my priority and ensure that we play our role in creating a good working environment for you to fulfill your career and make life meaningful for you. I wish to Congratulate all my personnel and the entire Nigerian workers on the International Workers’ Day 2022, let’s continue to remain vigilant and be security conscious at all time; if you see anything suspicious, don’t keep your mouth shut, rather, report to any security agency nearest to you for prompt action to nip the danger in the bud,” Dr Audi said.

Nigeria@65: FG’s programmes improving welfare of Nigerians- NOA
The National Orientation Agency (NOA), on Wednesday said that the Federal Government’s programmes and policies under President Bola Tinubu-led administration were improving the welfare of Nigerians.
Mrs Adaline Patari, the State Director of NOA, Gombe State office, stated this shortly after a road show to mark Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day anniversary in Gombe.
Patari said that programmes and policies of Tinubu-led administration had supported many Nigerians from the student’s loan to conditional cash transfer to support to small businesses amongst others.
She stated that the initiatives by the present administration had restored hope and put the country amongst serious countries pursuing better reforms to improve their economy while revamping infrastructure.
According to her, many undergraduates benefitting from the student’s loan scheme which has removed all financial hindrances impeding access to tertiary education now feel a sense of belonging.
She said that the programmes and policies of the Federal Government have benefitted many households and improved their welfare in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu.
“The reforms of the Federal Government are working and many persons are proud to be Nigerians and more persons are now trying to do the right things as Nigerians.
“People are beginning to see themselves as proud Nigerians and that confidence of being a Nigerian is being restored.
“Today, many Nigerians are benefitting from the programmes of the current administration, this means that the country is now working for them,” she said.
While acknowledging that there were still challenges that needed to be addressed, Patari said, at 65, we have made tremendous progress especially working together in peace and unity.
She urged Nigerians to continue to support Tinubu administration’s programmes towards building a better country that works for all Nigerians.
The state director said that with the necessary reforms being carried out and already yielding results in the economic, agriculture, security and other sectors, more Nigerians would be prouder to be Nigerians in the future.
“Today, the country is progressing and we are united; we are now prouder to be Nigerians and I can tell you that the labour of our heroes past, indeed is never in vain,” she added.
Commending the contributions of youths to national development, Patari urged them to have a positive mind-set towards Nigeria and to always express optimism of a better Nigeria for everyone.
Patari also lauded the renewed strength with which NOA under the Director General of the agency, Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu was being driven.
She said that government’s policies and programmes were getting more supports from Nigerians because of the constant engagements of Nigerians by the NOA nationwide.
The event also featured sensitisation of residents on Federal Government’s policies, programmes and the need for the people to support the current administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda
