NSCDC Boss Lauds Exemplary Leadership Of Commandant FCT Command

The Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Prof. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, has lauded the significant developmental achievements of the FCT Commandant, Olusola Odumosu, noting that the visible transformation of the Command under his leadership justifies his pedigree of hard work and dedication to duty.

The CG gave the commendation during a facility assessment of the newly initiated Obstacle Course Training Center at the FCT Command.

The visit forms part of the Commandant General’s 2026 Operational Tour to evaluate the command’s preparedness and infrastructure development across the federation.

Expressing his satisfaction with the leadership at the FCT Command, Prof. Audi commended the FCT Commandant for his achievements within a very short period stressing that he has represented the Corps appropriately.

“Obviously, the FCT Command is the operational base of the National Headquarters.
What you have demonstrated in such a short period since you assumed office indicates that you have much to offer the Corps.”

The CG further highlighted that the FCT Command has become a hub for innovation, noting that the personnel are among the most cherished officers working intentionally with innovations intended to move the Corps forward.

“Even a blind person knows that the Civil Defence of yesterday is not the same as today,” he added.

During the tour, Prof. Audi urged personnel to remain committed to the rules and principles of the Corps.

He cautioned against indolence and mischief, advising officers to prioritize the interest of the Service over personal gains and to channel their energy into ventures that other Commands can emulate.

The NSCDC boss also used the occasion to commend President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, for the recent promotion of personnel who had been stagnated for years adding that the move has breathed new life into the “Renewed Hope Agenda” within the service.

The CG announced that the National Headquarters is currently developing a sophisticated College of Arms Squad Service in Nasarawa State and pledged to leverage the blueprint of the FCT’s obstacle course for broader training purposes and also assured the FCT Command of the National Headquarters’ support in completing the project on time.

The visit was concluded with a tactical demonstration at the obstacle course by trained personnel, showcasing the command’s physical and operational readiness.
