The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Sokoto State Command, under the proactive leadership of Commandant EA Ajayi<\/strong>, has convened the 3rd Quarter Strategic Stakeholders\u2019 Meeting<\/strong> with the Heads of Private Guard Companies (PGCs) operating within Sokoto State.
The meeting was held on Wednesday, 3rd December 2025, at 10:00 hours, in the Conference Hall of the NSCDC Sokoto State Command Headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The engagement brought together critical stakeholders to deliberate on emerging security challenges across the State, emphasising the importance of collaboration<\/strong>, cooperation<\/strong>, and synergy with relevant security agencies<\/strong> in combating insecurity and safeguarding lives and property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While addressing the gathering, the State Commandant underscored the need for professionalism<\/strong> and strict compliance with operational guidelines<\/strong> governing Private Guard Companies. He noted that adherence to established regulations remains essential in maintaining a peaceful and secure environment across Sokoto State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commandant Ajayi urged PGC Heads to ensure their personnel are properly trained, well-equipped, and committed to providing effective security services while upholding professionalism and respect for human rights<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He further stressed the importance of adequate remuneration<\/strong> for PGC personnel, stating:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAdequate remuneration promotes transparency, equity, and justice. Motivation is a key driver of success in any organisation, as it leads to positive outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Commandant also reiterated the necessity for PGC operatives to be properly kitted in their uniforms<\/strong> while on duty for clear identification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, he emphasised the timely reporting of incidents<\/strong> by PGC personnel within their respective Areas of Responsibility (AOR) to the appropriate security agencies, highlighting that effective information-sharing enhances collective security efforts and ensures improved protection of lives and property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strategic engagement provided a platform for Private Guard Companies to express their concerns, share recommendations, and seek clarifications on regulatory issues, while the NSCDC offered guidance aimed at improving operational effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event marked a significant step towards strengthening partnerships, promoting the philosophy of Security Risk Assessment<\/strong>, and advancing the overall security architecture<\/strong> of Sokoto State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
