Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has said that his administration will build more outposts for the operatives of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) to enhance rapid response during emergencies.
El-Rufai stated this while receiving the NSCDC Commandant-General, Dr. Ahmed Audi.
El-Rufai said that he would direct all the local government chairmen in the state to build more outposts for the corps in their respective council areas, stressing that this would enhance wider coverage.
“This will enhance the closeness of security services at the grassroots by increasing accessibility to the corps’ services,” he said.

He assured the governor of the corps’ determination and commitment to doing its best in securing lives and protecting critical assets and infrastructure without being compromised
