The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has decorated 1,000 newly promoted officers of the Corps.
The officers were decorated at the state command’s headquarters in Abuja on Friday, December 29, 2023.
The elevated Personnel were part of about 21,000 personnel and officers of the Corps promoted across the country by the federal government out of the 29,000 who wrote promotion examinations in 2023.
They were promoted across various ranks and cadres in the Service.
Out of the promoted officers, five senior officers were promoted from Assistant Commandant to Deputy Commandant in the FCT Command, while over 20 officers were promoted from Chief Superintendents of the corps to Assistant Commandants.
The Commandant of the FCT Command, Olusola Odumosu in his remarks commended the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, and the Commandant-General of the Corps, Dr Ahmed Audi for the massive promotion under the present dispensation.
Odumosu urged the newly decorated personnel to be diligent while discharging their duties.
He said those who could not benefit from the exercise should not lose hope as the authorities are already aware of the need to clear the backlogs of promotion which the Commandant-General had made a cardinal point of his welfare policy in the Service.
