Ajayi<\/strong>, in recognition of his <strong>visionary leadership, strategic initiatives in community development, and pragmatic approach to peace and security in the state<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The award ceremony was held on <strong>Monday, 15 December 2025<\/strong>, at about <strong>12:00 noon<\/strong> at the <strong>NSCDC Sokoto State Command Headquarters<\/strong>, in the presence of principal officers of the Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Presenting the award, the <strong>Coordinator of the Centre for Peace and Values Re-Orientation, Abuja, Comrade Abubakar Oyibo<\/strong>, also inducted the State Commandant as a <strong>Service Peace Ambassador for 2025<\/strong>, accompanied by an induction medal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the leadership of <strong>CC E.A. Ajayi<\/strong>, the NSCDC Sokoto State Command has strengthened <strong>grassroots collaboration, intelligence sharing, and partnerships with community stakeholders<\/strong>, resulting in improved security outcomes across the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Commandant has fostered strong institutional partnerships, enhanced collective response mechanisms to security challenges, and deepened public trust through effective community engagement. These efforts have strengthened early-warning systems and encouraged greater community participation in local security matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His <strong>open-door leadership philosophy<\/strong> has further positioned the NSCDC Sokoto State Command as a <strong>transparent, accountable, and trusted security institution<\/strong>, working in synergy with sister agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking at the event, <strong>Comrade Abubakar Oyibo<\/strong> commended the Command for its transparency, accountability, and positive public image, noting that these qualities informed the Centre\u2019s decision to honour the State Commandant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his acceptance remarks, <strong>CC E.A. Ajayi<\/strong> reaffirmed that <strong>peace remains a critical pillar of the state\u2019s security architecture<\/strong>, stressing that sustainable peace can only be achieved through <strong>strategic community engagement, social inclusion, and humanitarian-focused security initiatives<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The State Commandant highlighted the Command\u2019s achievements in <strong>community-based intelligence sharing, socio-economic engagement, protection of critical national assets and infrastructure, inter-agency cooperation<\/strong>, and efforts to mitigate conflicts, particularly between <strong>farmers and herders<\/strong> in rural areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He reiterated the Command\u2019s commitment to strengthening peace, security, and community resilience for the collective good of humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p
