No fewer than thirteen state Commands of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) have moved out of their rented apartments into their newly-built office complexes.
Commandant General of the NSCDC, Abdullahi Gana Muhammadu, who disclosed this iin Abuja, listed the Commands to include Anambra, Edo, Delta, Ogun, Ekiti, Ebonyi, Gombe, Sokoto, Niger, Ondo, Kebbi, Osun, and Yobe.
He said when he assumed office in 2015, many of the state commands who were using rented apartments had issues with the children of their landlords who wanted to alter the tenancy agreements.
He noted that many of their commands were operating from rented apartments which had its implications, therefore, NSCDC had to source for funding to build office complexes in states.
“We couldn’t redesign the buildings to look like security structures and the premises also had limited spaces.
“Then, we had issues with some children of the landlords who wanted to alter the tenancy agreements we had with their fathers.
“So, we had no choice than to cry to the federal government for budgetary provision for the building of our own permanent structures.
“Since that 2015 till now, we have built about 13 new state commands while at the headquarters in Sauka here, we have built more classrooms for the NSCDC Academy, completed the medical center, and erect new office structures”.
Gana thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for his interest in the activities of the NSCDC, pledging the loyalty and commitment of his personnel to the Commander in Chief.
