NSCDC Launches N1bn Headquarters Upgrade in Abuja
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has commenced infrastructure projects at its national headquarters in Sauka, Abuja, with an estimated cost exceeding N1bn. Commandant-General Prof. Ahmed Audi announced the initiative during a groundbreaking ceremony, aiming for completion by December.
The projects include constructing a new entrance gate, quarter guard, rehabilitating internal access roads, and installing solar-powered streetlights. Audi emphasized that these upgrades are part of his administration's four-point agenda focused on resuscitation, rejuvenation, re-engineering, and repositioning the agency.
The funding for these projects comes from intervention support rather than the Corps' regular budget, with President Bola Tinubu commended for providing the necessary support. Audi assured that the projects' quality would be monitored by professional engineers, architects, and builders.
This infrastructure upgrade is part of a broader strategy to enhance the Corps' institutional capacity and operational readiness in response to evolving security challenges.
