About 300 vulnerable residents of Lafia, Nasarawa State, have received free medical care during an outreach organised by the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
The programme, held at the palace of the Emir of Lafia, formed part of activities marking the first anniversary of the assumption of office of the state commandant, Brah Samson Umaru.
Umaru said the outreach reflected the corps’ commitment to supporting communities while carrying out its statutory responsibilities of protecting lives, property and critical national infrastructure.
He said the NSCDC would continue to collaborate with traditional rulers and other security agencies to promote sustainable peace and strengthen security across the state.
The commandant said Nasarawa had recorded improved peace, unity, security and economic activity over the past year through the combined efforts of security agencies and traditional institutions.
He commended the NSCDC Commandant-General, Dr Ahmed Mohammed Audi; Governor Abdullahi Sule; and the Emir of Lafia, Justice Sidi Bage Mohammed I, for their support and cooperation.
The emir, who spoke through the Madakin Lafia, Alhaji Isiyaka Dauda, reaffirmed the commitment of traditional institutions to working with security agencies to combat crime and protect residents.
