NSCDC offers employment, presents cheques to families of slain personnel

The Commandant General of theNigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps,(NSCDC), Ahmed Audi, has given automatic employment and cheques of undisclosed sums to families of seven personnel, who were ambushed by bandits and killed in Birnin Gwari, Kaduna State.

Presenting the cheques to the families at the NSCDC Kaduna Command Headquarters, yesterday, Audi said that the Minister of interior, Rauf Aregbesola, approved automatic employment slots for representatives from each of the families as a way of offering support and succor over the ugly incident.

In a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer, PRO, of the Corps, Olusola Odumosu, the CG said the money is a token of support from the government to those left behind by the fallen heroes pending the payment of their accrued benefits.
“This is a service that has its personnel in mind. It is my vision to champion the course of promoting personnel’s welfare in the Corps. The Minister has approved one slot each for you to replace your husbands. I have also directed the Kaduna State Commandant, Idris Yahaya, to liaise with you on getting your details across to us in Abuja,” he said.

Audi, who described the killing as unfortunate, however, charged other personnel not to be deterred by the ugly incident but to put in their best for a more secured country.

“Death is inevitable, it is heart touching losing the personnel. Although, this is not the first time we are losing personnel, it is so painful that we lost seven personnel at a time. It is a great loss, that is why I am here personally, to encourage all of you, to continue to do your best and not give up,” he said.
