NSCDC boss tasks promoted personnel on mentorship

Ahmed Audi, Commandant General (CG) of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), has tasked senior officers of the Corps to serve as mentors to subordinates to foster professionalism.

Audi, during the decoration of 22 Assistant Commandant-Generals and 35 Commandants of the Corps on Thursday in Abuja, said that the essence of leadership was to make impact in the lives of others.

According to him, personnel who are unable to impact unique leadership qualities to junior operatives have failed the Corps.

Rauf Aregbesola, Minister of Interior and Chairman, Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board (CDCFIB) on Tuesday decorated five Deputy Commandant-Generals (DCG) of the Corps.

The CG charged the 62 promoted officers on loyalty, commitment, dedication and service delivery.

The CG, who attributed promotion as a gift from God, advised personnel who were of the habit of lobbying for promotion to desist from such act.

He also ordered all State Commandants to hand over the mantle of leadership in state commands to the most senior officer and report to NSCDC headquarters in Abuja.
