The FCT Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has decorated approximately 1,000 officers of the Corps who recently received promotions from the federal government.
The federal government promoted about 21,000 personnel and officers nationwide out of the 29,000 who underwent promotion examinations in 2023, spanning various ranks and cadres within the Service.
The Commandant General of the Corps, Dr Ahmed Audi, advocated for the personnel’s promotion before the Board, highlighting that numerous Corps members had experienced stagnation for years.
However, the Board, chaired by the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, approved promotions for 21,000 individuals following their examinations. The officers underwent decoration at the headquarters of the command in Wuse, Zone 5, Abuja.
Dignitaries participating in the decoration ceremony included representatives of the Commandant-General, the FCT Director of the Department of State Services (DSS), the Director of FCT Fire Service Command, the Corps Marshal of the FRSC, FCT Command, and House of Representatives members from the FCT.
Within the FCT Command, five senior officers were promoted from Assistant Commandant to Deputy Commandant, while over 20 officers ascended from Chief Superintendents of the Corps to Assistant Commandants.
