The Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Dr. Ade Abolurin, has been described as a gift to Nigeria by by Ogun State.
The Minister of Interior, Comrade Abba Moro, said this when he paid a courtesy visit on the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, after the commissioning of projects at the College of Security Management, Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Moro said based on the achievements of the NSCDC under the leadership of Abolurin, it is confirmed that Ogun State gave the nation a solid gift.
At the commissioning of the projects, Moro said the Civil Defence College for Security Management would refocus and re-address the minds of security agencies and private security guard operators to the dynamics in the security arena, while bringing to their consciousness the need to be proactive in the management of security.
Meanwhile, Abolurin on has said about 150,000 personnel would be required for the 2015 general election.
Abolurin said this in a chat with newsmen in Abeokuta after the commissioning of projects at the College of Security Management, Abeokuta.
He said: “You know we will be complementing other agencies, so that number is the minimum requirement.”
The Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, said the NSCDC is now a pride of the nation that should be emulated by other security agencies.
Speaking at the commissioning of the projects also, Amosun said the NSCDC had shown in just a few years of existence that it could deliver on its mandate beyond the expectations of the general public.
The governor therefore pledged to support the service in all ramifications.
Others dignitaries at the event were Oba Kehinde Gbadewole, the paramount ruler of Yewaland in Ogun State; the representatives of the Chief of Army Staff, Chief of Naval Staff and Chief of Air staff; the representative of the Commissioner of Police for Ogun State; and the chairman and members of the House of Representatives Committee on Interior.
