Abia NSCDC gets a new commander

Please share this story:

A new commander, Muhammad Sanyinna, took over command of Abia State from Nigeria's Security and Civil Defense Corps on Tuesday.

In his inaugural address, Sanyinna pledged to fight crimes in the state to a standstill, ensuring the full implementation of the Commander General's zero tolerance guidelines against all forms of vandalism of oil pipelines, electrical installations, telecommunications infrastructure and other critical national assets and government infrastructure.

He instructed the officers and men of the Abia State Corps to prepare for a season of productive engagements that would trigger a period of steadily rising Command Performance Index/Rating .

According to him, "Abia Command under my leadership will reward excellent performance and diligent commitment to duty without compromising on professionalism, while those who engage in absenteeism will have no choice but to dress because we will maintain a zero tolerance attitude to indolence."

He is committed to working with the state government and working in synergy with sister state security agencies to ensure that relative peace is maintained in the state.

Security, he said, was everyone's business, and he sought the support of the general public by providing useful information to state security agencies to enable them to serve better.
