Get Guardian on GoogleA House of Representatives candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) for Ankpa Federal Constituency in Kogi State, Prince Gowon Enenche, has donated a building to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) for use as a divisional office in Imane, Ankpa Local Government Area.
Enenche announced the donation during a visit to the NSCDC State Command headquarters in Lokoja, where he informed the state commandant, Mr Aletan Olumide Ebenezer, of the completion of the facility and requested its acceptance and commissioning.
According to a statement issued by his Personal Assistant on Media and Publicity, Bunyamin Iye Adam, the building was funded by Enenche’s political organisation, the G1 Group.
The candidate said the intervention was informed by the need to support security agencies in addressing security challenges in his constituency.
He said the facility was intended to strengthen the operational presence of the NSCDC in Imane, Olamaboro and neighbouring communities within the federal constituency.
Describing the donation as a social responsibility initiative, Enenche said government agencies required support from individuals and community stakeholders to effectively address security concerns.
Responding, the state commandant acknowledged the donation and described it as an intervention that could support the corps’ operations in the area.
He said the facility would provide accommodation for the corps’ personnel and improve its capacity to respond to security concerns in the benefiting communities.
The proposed divisional office is expected to serve Imane and neighbouring communities, although the date for its formal handover and commissioning was not stated.
The development highlights the role of private contributions in providing infrastructure support for security agencies, particularly in communities where operational facilities may be limited.
