The Anambra State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Maku Olatunde has called on officers serving in the state to heighten discipline and exhibit exceptional operational performance among personnel and urged them to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and excellence in their duties.
Comdt. Maku Olatunde made this declaration during a muster parade held at the NSCDC State Command Headquarters in Awka on Tuesday, September 3, 2024, in compliance with a directive from the Commandant General, as he addressed personnel and emphasized the need for enhanced discipline and operational excellence.
According to the Head Media and Tactical Ops of the Command, SC Okadigbo Edwin, “The State NSCDC Boss sternly cautioned officers and men against participating in illicit activities such as job racketeering, employment scams, and promotion scams, emphasizing that offenders will face dismissal. He also underscored the significance of maintaining a professional image through proper dress code, attitude, and behaviour, especially during official working hours.
“Furthermore, he urged individuals who falsify their records, author anonymous petitions against the Corps, or refuse transfers to reconsider their actions, as these are considered serious offences while encouraging those on transfer to view it as opportunities for career growth and development, rather than resisting them.
“The State NSCDC Helmsman highlighted the initiatives undertaken by the Commandant General and his management team to address stagnation, promote personnel development, enhance pension benefits, and improve overall welfare packages. He also conveyed the Federal Government’s appreciation, as expressed by the Commandant General, for the Corps’ professional conduct and exemplary behaviour during recent protests.
“Comdt. Maku also, reminded personnel that the Commandant General has directed all state commands to concentrate on their core responsibilities, specifically, crisis management, safeguarding critical national assets, and protecting infrastructure, while eschewing unhealthy competition with other security agencies and fostering a spirit of collaboration and synergy.”
