Big cheers in Ilorin: Over 200 Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps officers in Kwara got pinned with shiny new ranks Tuesday at Command HQ, but it’s no free ride—State Commandant Dr. Umar J.G. Mohammed calls it a “call to greater responsibility” for top-tier service.
“Promotion’s earned through sweat and integrity,” he told the crowd. “Now step up: protect assets, keep peace, justify the trust.” He shouted out Interior Minister Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo’s reforms boosting welfare and morale, plus CG Prof. Ahmed Abubakar Audi’s merit-first push on training and fairness. No promotion yet? Hang tight—due process rules.
Newly minted Deputy Commandant Awoyale Olusoji spoke for all: “We’re recommitted to integrity, loyalty, and Nigeria.” Families and brass packed the house for the feel-good fest.
