The Assistant Inspector General of Police in charge of Veterinary, Mrs Aisha’atu Abubakar has commended the efforts of the Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Dr Ahmed Abubakar Audi mni. for the establishment of the Special Female Squad (SFS) and the relentless efforts in the fight against insecurity occasioned by banditry, kidnapping, abduction of school Children amongst others in the nation.
AIG Abubakar said this while receiving in her office the SFS National Commander, CSC Oluwakemi Imohnike and her entourage who paid a courtesy call to the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters, Abuja in order to strengthen the existing collaborations between the two organizations.
While speaking on the activities of the Special Female Squad both in Abuja and other States of the federation Imohnike said, the NSCDC SFS was primarily established as a response to the clarion call by the federal government through the office of the Minister of Interior, Engr. Rauf Aregbesola who tasked the NSCDC Commandant General to develop a robust scheme that would tackle the menace of insecurity in schools. This pragmatic move of course is in tandem with the federal government safe schools initiative and since formation the Special Female Squad has not rested on her Oasis.

” Immediately the SFS was established we leveraged on the maximum support given by the Commandant General who had already set up a committee of intellectuals in corps that conducted a vulnerability studies on all schools across the federation, it was deduced that from over 82,000 government and private schools in the nation about 62,000 had no perimeter fencing or any security measures put in place to forestall external aggression and this informed our determination to put an end to kidnapping and abduction of School Children across the nation”.
The Special Female Squad National Commander further said the Corps has employed a non-kinetic approach in tackling insecurity by carrying out sensitization and awareness programs across Primarily and Secondary Schools in Abuja and the entire federation as the students are being exposed to necessary security tips that would enhance their knowledge and make them develop a security conscious mindset in their day to day activities.
In her response AIG Aisha’atu Abubakar lauded the NSCDC Commandant General for giving the female personnel the opportunity of exercising their fundamental strength by contributing their quota to protection of lives and properties of the citizens; noting that women are diligent and dogged agent of positivity when given the much needed support and encouragement. She further affirmed that her office would facilitate a more elaborate interactive session, Security workshop and seminars between the two agencies to foster and strengthen the existing synergy and engender stronger collaborative effort in fight against insecurity.

APC Affirms One-China Principle, Lauds Nigeria-China Partnership
By: Michael Mike
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has affirmed its unwavering commitment to the one-China principle, recognising Taiwan as an integral part of the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
Speaking in an interview in Abuja on Wednesday, the APC National Vice-Chairman (North-East), Comrade Mustapha Salihu, said the party is in full alignment with the federal government’s diplomatic stance.
He said: “Nigeria is unequivocally committed to the One-China Principle. Consequently, the policies and principles of the APC will mirror those of our federal government in diplomatic matters.
“China is a significant partner for our nation; they regard us as equals rather than a lesser nation. This perspective fosters a relationship of mutual progress. Therefore, it is wise for the government to support the one-China principle.”
Salihu reiterated the APC’s firm support for the government’s diplomatic policies, stating, “As a party, we stand resolutely behind the one-China principle.”
He praised the positive outcomes of Nigeria-China diplomatic relations, particularly in trade, investment, and infrastructural development.
He said: “Our partnership with China has yielded substantial results. We have witnessed the construction of extensive roads, bridges, and railways by Chinese companies, with counterpart funding from the Chinese government.
“In addition, projects such as the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) natural gas pipeline and various free trade zones in Nigeria have been funded, in whole or in part, by Chinese institutions. Chinese enterprises are eager to establish factories and businesses in Nigeria, and many are already contributing to our economy,” he noted.
He attributed the influx of foreign investment in Nigeria to the APC administration’s business-friendly policies, including amendments to the Companies and Allied Matters Act, which have streamlined processes for investors.
He expressed the party’s readiness to strengthen ties with the Communist Party of China (CPC) through collaboration in cultural exchange, trade, education, and human capital development.
He said: “We are dedicated to fostering mutual growth and reinforcing our historic partnership.”
