Civil Defence Personnel Received 140 Housing Units
In a significant move to enhance the working and living conditions of personnel with a view to achieving optimal productivity in the areas of safety and security of Critical National Assets and Infrastructure, the Commandant General, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Dr Ahmed Audi, has handed over keys and award letters to over a hundred housing units to personnel.
Audi, while distributing the keys and letters to the beneficiaries who are Cooperative Members, reiterated his commitment to an all-inclusive welfare package for personnel to enhance effective livelihood and sustainability.
He appreciated the fact that the housing deficit is a challenge for both officers and men of the Corps, but he assured that avenues are being explored to make affordable houses available, which would encourage better working conditions.
However, he admonished the beneficiaries to maximize their opportunities to own houses by doubling their efforts in service to the nation.
In an address of welcome, the President of the NSCDC National Headquarters Cooperative Society, Assistant Commandant Isa Yusuf, said the Executive of the Cooperative society was able to embark on the project and achieve such a laudable feat in pursuance of the commandant general’s charge and with his unwavering support.
He said the Cooperative Executives will continue to work hard and adopt a more robust approach to bringing about more comfortable and affordable houses for its members with the best available equity.
The keys and award letters were presented symbolically to the beneficiaries, and thereafter, the CG and principal staff officers of the Corps moved to Good Homes Estate in Kuje, Abuja, for another ground-breaking and foundation-laying ceremony for 102 additional units of two—and three-bedroom flats.
Goodwill messages were sent by the Branch Manager of First Bank Airport Branch, Mr Atoika Taimako, the Managing Director of AG mortgage, Mr Ngozi Anyagwu, and the Managing Director of Intergre Brand Ltd, Engr. Lawrence Okenyi.
The housing units comprised 80 units at Grand Luvu Estate in Masaka, Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa, 60 units in Deidei, Abuja, and 102 units in Kuje, Abuja, consisting of one-, two-, and three-bedroom flats.
