NSCDC deploys 984 personnel for Enugu council polls
The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has deployed 984 officers and men for the Enugu State council election slated for September 21.
The commandant of NSCDC Enugu State Command, Cyprian Otoibhi, disclosed this to journalists on Friday in Enugu.
Mr Otoibhi charged officers and men deployed for election duties to acquit themselves credibly and uphold all the tenets of the corps.
He said the personnel had been directed to work harmoniously with other security agencies to ensure a peaceful and credible election process.
According to him, officers and men have been thoroughly briefed on their duties and responsibilities and on maintaining professionalism and integrity throughout the exercise.
“I also advise party officials, party faithful and the electorate to be law-abiding and provide actionable intelligence to security agents to help secure election officials, electoral materials, and a credible process.
“The cooperation of the public is crucial in achieving a peaceful and orderly election.
“I extend the goodwill of the NSCDC commandant general, Ahmed Audi, to all officers and men of the corps and all other sister security agencies involved in election duties,” he said.
He urged all NSCDC personnel to perform their duties with the highest level of dedication and commitment.
Political parties will vie for 17 chairmanships and 260 ward councillorship positions during the election.
