The Niger State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, has called on its officers to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and dedication in safeguarding lives, property, and critical national assets in line with the Corps’ mandate.
State Commandant, Suberu Siyaka Aniviye, made the call during the 2026 World Civil Defence Day commemoration at the Corps’ headquarters in the Three Arms Zone, Minna.
Speaking through the Command’s Public Relations Officer, DSC Abubakar Mohamed Rabiu Muti, Aniviye highlighted that World Civil Defence Day is typically observed with elaborate activities under the International Civil Defence Organization, ICDO.
He explained that this year’s event, however, was conducted on a subdued scale “as a mark of respect and honour for officers who lost their lives during the recent transition ceremony of the Corps’ Commandant-General, Abubakar Ahmed Audi.”
The commandant emphasized that the commemoration offered an opportunity for officers and personnel “to reflect, give thanks to God for His mercies, and renew their dedication to national service.”
He also assured that the sacrifices of fallen officers would always be remembered and honoured.
The occasion featured a joint interfaith prayer session attended by top management and senior officers of the command, a quarter guard inspection and a parade display by mounted officers, symbolizing discipline, readiness, and the Corps’ unwavering commitment to its statutory duties.
