Dr. Onoja expressed deep appreciation and urged the Corps to sustain its dedication and continue collaborating closely with local stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commandant <strong>Aletan Olumide<\/strong> in his address, extended heartfelt gratitude to <strong>Elder Dr. Ogwu Onoja James (SAN)<\/strong> for his generous support in funding and equipping the project prior to its official handover to the NSCDC. He emphasized the importance of community cooperation with the Corps\u2019 personnel to ensure effective service delivery and continuous protection of lives, properties, and critical assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Commandant also issued a stern warning to individuals involved in or contemplating criminal activities, advising them to desist immediately or face the full weight of the law. He reaffirmed the NSCDC\u2019s unwavering commitment to maintaining peace, enforcing the law, and promoting safety through diligence, professionalism, and fairness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr
