Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Abdullahi Muhammadu has called for Unity of purpose among the personnel.

Muhammadu made this assertion while briefing top management team and other senior officers of the Corps at the Headquarters, Abuja.

He said the meeting was necessitated by the performance of Corps personnel during the yuletide season, mainly in stemming the tide of vandalism, curtailing hoarding and diversion of petroleum products and arrest of marketers selling above official pump price in order to ensure orderliness at filling stations.

While delivering Mr President’s message, he said ”The Presidency appreciated the role played by the Corps in restoring normalcy to the oil sector due to the fuel scarcity which hit the Nation recently.

He appreciated the Corps personnel for their support in making 2017 a successful one with its remarkable achievements.

The Corps chief executive reflected on the report by NOI Poll and other CSOs for their rating of the Corps as the most friendly organisation.

While acknowledging the performance of the Corps, he frowned at the issue of indiscipline by saying every personnel irrespective of the rank must imbibe the culture of self discipline.

The CG warned against personnel using the social media platforms to discuss issues that are meant to be internalised, he therefore tasked personnel to desist from such unruly habit and always channel their complaints through the appropriate quarter.

He also assured the personnel of their welfare, reminding them that the payment of promotion arrears is to be done by the office of the Accountant General of the federation with the backing of Mr President and the corps had done the needful as required.

He cautioned against rumour mongering, petition writing and dissemination of fake information, rather, he urges personnel to imbibe the culture of loyalty, patriotism, love, as well as mutual coexistence.

While cutting the new year cake, the Corps helmsman gave an assurance of a better and more fulfilling 2018, congratulating the personnel for making it to the new year, the CG equally tasks all directorates, departments and units to redouble their efforts in ensuring the actualisation of the vision and mission of the Corps this new year through the unity of purpose and commitment to service.
