The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Federal Capital Territory Command has trained 44 personnel of the AiHoop Integrated Services Limited in basic security operations and intelligence gathering.

At the Passing Out Parade (POP) held on Wednesday at the Command’s headquarters, the Commandant, Dr Peter Maigari, charged them to put all that they have learned into practice.

Maigari, who spoke through his representative, DCC Felix Ikwuegbu, who is his second in command lamented the numerous security challenges bedevilling the country at the moment, charging them to rise to the challenges and contribute their quarter in keeping the country secured.

“There is insecurity in the land and it is now everybody’s job to keep the country safe.

“The police, civil defence, army and other security agencies can not do the work alone and that is why you must help in providing intelligence to the government,” he said.

To the owners of the security outfit, Maigari charged them to endeavor to pay his staff well to discourage them from compromising on duty.

He assured that the NSCDC would provide adequate supervision to ensure that they operate within the ambit of the law.

The personnel displayed some of the skills they learned during the two weeks of intensive training to showcase their competence.
