The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has issued operating licences to 28 newly registered private guard companies, with a charge to intensify intelligence gathering to help stem the tide of insecurity across the country.
According to a statement signed by the Corps’ National Public Relations Officer, Afolabi Babawale, the presentation was held at the NSCDC National Headquarters in Abuja.
This, Babawale said, aligns with the Corps’ statutory duties under the NSCDC Establishment Act of 2003, amended in 2007.
