Mr Muhammad Durumin-Iya, the Commandant, Jigawa Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), has charged the 28 newly-promoted officers of the command to be more committed and dedicated to duty.

Durumin-Iya made the charge shortly after decorating the officers with their new ranks at the command’s Headquarters in Dutse on Thursday.

He also urged them to regard their elevation as an added responsibility.

‎ “To whom much is given much is also expected,” he said.

According to the commandant, the officers should reciprocate the gesture by rededicating themselves to duty and also ensure total loyalty to the Federal Government and their superiors.

“You must put more efforts in doing what the Federal Government employed you to do, that is protection of lives and property of Nigerians, as well as critical infrastructures provided by the government across the nation,” he said.‎

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that those promoted included the Spokesman of the command, DSC Adamu Abdullahi, who  was now elevated to the rank of Superintendent of the Corps (SC).

Others are one: Deputy Corps Commandant (DCC) ; two Assistant Commandants of the Corps (ACC); seven Chief Superintendents of the Corps (CSC); 13 Superintendents of the Corps (SC), six Deputy Superintendents of the Corps (DSC); two Assistant Superintendents of the Corps (ASC); two Principal Inspectors and five Senior Inspectors, among others.

The newly-promoted spokesman of the corps,  SC Adamu Shehu, thanked the Commandant-General of the corps for finding them worthy of the promotion.

Shehu pledged that they would  continue to discharge them duties with high sense of responsibility and commitment.
