Abia Governor Approves Land for NSCDC Command, Reaffirms Commitment to Security as Top Priority for State Development

Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has approved land for the establishment of a Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) command in Abia. The approval was given during a visit by the NSCDC Commandant General, Prof. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, to the Governor's office on Wednesday, July 16th.



The NSCDC Commandant General informed the Governor that Abia is among five states selected for new NSCDC command structures in the 2024 Federal Budget, largely due to the Governor's proactive response to security issues. Prof. Audi requested land close to the capital for the project and praised the Governor's humility, responsiveness, and ongoing support to the Corps.

Governor Otti emphasized the importance of security to governance, development, and social stability, noting that while Abia has remained relatively peaceful, his administration continues to work proactively to prevent crime. He revealed that earlier that day, security agencies had successfully cleared a criminal hideout in Isiukwuato. The Governor directed the State Commissioner for Lands to work with his office to identify and allocate a suitable site for the new command headquarters before the week runs out.

The establishment of an NSCDC command in Abia is a significant development in the state's security infrastructure. It demonstrates the Governor's commitment to strengthening security in the state and promoting development. The project is expected to enhance the state's security architecture and provide a safer environment for residents.

The approval of land for the NSCDC command in Abia is a milestone in Governor Otti's administration's efforts to strengthen security infrastructure in the state. The project is a testament to the Governor's proactive approach to security and his commitment to promoting development in Abia. With the support of the NSCDC and other security agencies, the state is poised to become even safer and more prosperous.
