The FCT Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, and the Police in Abuja have renewed their commitment to collaborate effectively in ridding the Federal Capital Territory of crime.
This was made known at a visit of the FCT commandant of the corps, Olusola Odumosu to the Commissioner of Police, Haruna Garba, in Abuja.
Odumosu said the visit was necessitated by the need to solidify existing relationship between the two agencies, and called for more peaceful coexistence and synergy especially amongst the junior cadres.
“My visit to your office is to create an opportunity for our officers to interact for better and well coordinated interaction on the field.
“You have shown me warm acceptance, and since i assumed office, the cooperation i have enjoyed from you is admirable, and i wish to thank you for that.
“However, i want to appeal that we use our good offices to educate our officers and men on the need for this kind of synergy amongst them,” the FCT civil defence boss said.
Odumosu emphasised that cordial relationship among security agencies to promote national security interests as it paves the way for good interaction and credible intelligence sharing.
Speaking in the same vein, CP Haruna Garba affirmed his unwavering commitment towards promoting and sustaining a harmonious working relationship between both services.
He echoed the need for inter-agency cooperation and condemned unhealthy rivalry, stating that the era of one agency claiming dominance or superiority over another is over and it should not be encouraged in the face of security challenges on ground to tackle.
“To tackle the security challenges of the nation; we have to cooperate just like two hands washing each other for better cleaning of the hands.
“No institution or agency is superior to the other, we are one and the same and must work together to achieve the same goal,” he said.
