He stated that security agencies require the cooperation and support of citizens to effectively ensure national security.
He called on citizens to endeavour to provide credible information that could help nip crime in the bud.
“If you see something, do not waste time in saying something,” he advised.
The NSCDC boss urged Nigerians to engrain the spirit of national consciousness to move the nation forward, noting that only a safe and secured environment could guarantee prosperity and growth of Nigeria’s democracy.
“A rise in national security consciousness is the first step towards creating a nation with shared sense of national identity.
“It also fosters common understanding amongst different ethnic groups, religion, tribes, and organisations.
“We have to develop a strong feeling of love, commitment, loyalty and affection that enables us to work together for the growth, progress and development of this country,” he said.
He further called on government at all levels to give maximum support to security agencies to function effectively in crime fighting and prevention.
“We will appreciate more governmental support to help us discharge our duties optimally,” he said.
He advocated the need for security agencies to heed the advice of President Tinubu on synergy and collaboration.
“We have to promote the culture of synergy and collaboration amongst ourselves.
“We must embrace the advice Mr President gave us recently regarding synergy and collaboration for effective service delivery,” he said.
“The task of eradicating crimes and criminality in the country required a formidable internal security apparatus that must be opposed to unhealthy rivalry.
He congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all Nigerians on the occasion of democacy day celebrations and assured that NSCDC under his leadership will not derail but play its part with renewed vigour for the betterment of Nigeria.
“Preserving Nigeria’s democracy is a collective effort in which, protecting her people and critical national assets is our role.
“We will continue to do our best in discharging our constitutional responsibility to the nation effectively without compromise.” the CG said.
