Nigerians must feel the impact of your service through safety, protection of lives, and defence of critical national assets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He assured the officers of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu\u2019s unwavering support for their welfare, continuous reforms, and efforts to end stagnation in the services, stressing that the success of the Corps is directly tied to safer communities across the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his goodwill message, the Commandant General of NSCDC, Professor Ahmed Abubakar Audi, congratulated the new DCGs and urged them to justify the confidence reposed in them through renewed dedication to the Corps\u2019 mandate. \u201cThis elevation is not for you alone; it is for the millions of Nigerians who rely on the Corps for safety and hope,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those decorated as Deputy Commandants General are DCG Abdulkadir Sulu, DCG Abiakam-Omanu Christiana, and
