The Management and staff of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps have commenced fervent prayers for the quick recovery of their Commandant General, Dr. Ade Abolurin, from the injuries he sustained recently in a domestic accident.
When contacted, the spokesperson of the NSCDC, Emmanuel Okeh, confirmed that officers and men of the NSCDC have organised a prayer session for the quick recovery of their boss.
Okeh said on the telephone: “He is on medical leave, following a domestic accident.
“We thank God he is responding to the treatment.”
Findings by PRNigeria revealed that the Commandant General was admitted to hospital but is recovering fast and may soon return to his desk.
Since the time that he took over the NSCDC, Abolurin has turned the organisation into a world class institution in terms of efficiency and performance, including winning multiple laurels for Nigeria at international sports competitions like the Olympics.
The NSCDC has within the period of Abolurin’s tenure built three training institutions, including the Civil Defence College of Security Management, Ogun State; the Civil Defence Academy, Abuja; and the College of Peace and Disaster Management, Katsina.
He is highly regarded by the rank and file of the Corps for his open-door policy and inter-personal relationship, apart from repositioning the Corps.
A commentator also described Dr. Abolurin as epitomising frugality, focus, patriotism, sense of mission and above all honesty and prudence in the management of public funds.
“This man deserves to be promoted as an exemplary public officer because his conduct and approach to governance are sufficiently impressive enough and therefore worthy of recommendation to others,” he said.
