The Nigeria Forest Security Services (NFSS) Ebonyi State command on Friday trained 2,000  personnel on Information and Intelligent Management, in Abakaliki.

Declaring the workshop open, the NFSS State Commander in Ebonyi  State, Larry Igwe, commended  the turnout of the members at the summit.

The security summit on “Intelligence-Drive Operation” was organised in conjunction with the State Security Service.

He emphasised the need for the personnel to exhibit higher level of diligence, discipline and proactiveness while  discharging their duties.

Mr Igwe urged the operatives to remain focused on the profession to earn the confidence of Nigerians.

Igwe said, ” You are expected to perform optimally and increase  your capacity to handle complex tasks after this security summit,

“You must  never compromise the profession in any form; do not allow bribery, and corruption hijack your conscience from serving  compassionately.

“Your appearance always, must  send warning  signals to criminals to desist from criminalities.”

He further commended  Gov Francis Nwifuru for an enabling environment for the training.

The service also lauded the DSS for enhancing  the security knowledge among our personnel.

The NFSS pledged to maintain security presence across the state in order  to combat criminality.

Mr Patrick Egwu and Nnenna Ali, both participants, described the exercise as professional and advocated for more retraining.

They called on President Bola Tinubu to expedite action on the inclusion of NFSS into security structure.
