A new Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Mr Elijah Willie, has officially assumed duty at the NSCDC Enugu State Command.
The Public Relations Officer of NSCDC Enugu State Command, Mr Emmanuel Nwatu, in a statement on Monday, said that Willie assumed duty on Friday after a brief handing over formalities.
Nwatu, who is a Superintendent of Corp (SC), said that the new Commandant Willie succeeded the outgone Commandant of the Command, now an Assistant Commandant General (ACG), Mr Cyprian Otoibhi.
According to him, the handover was marked by the signing of the official documents and the ceremonial presentation of the NSCDC flag by the outgone Commandant to Willie, symbolising the transfer of command and responsibility.
“Following the handover ceremony, Otoibhi took the new Commandant on an extensive tour of the Command’s offices and facilities. The tour included visits to critical departments such as the Public Relations Office (PRO), Administration, Intelligence, Health Services, Operations and Disaster Management among others.
“The new Commandant was also briefed on the status of various operational assets, including arrested trucks and other vehicles under the Command’s custody,” he said.
