The Chairman of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Retailers, Enugu Branch of NUPENG, Comrade Emmanuel Nnajiofor, has paid a courtesy visit to the State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Enugu State Command Comdt. Dr. Elijah Etim Willie.

The Chairman, who was accompanied by key officials from the Emene Zone, was warmly received by the State Commandant alongside principal officers from various units including Administration, Operations, Critical National Assets and Infrastructure, and the Anti-Vandalism Unit.

During the visit, Comrade Nnajiofor expressed appreciation for the opportunity to engage directly with the NSCDC leadership.
