“This ceremony could not have been fixed at a better time than this. The country is preparing for elections and this ACTU personnel, after induction, would help us enshrine integrity in the conduct of personnel in the election period.

“They will enlighten both NSCDC personnel and civilians about the need for integrity, as well as the anti-corruption stance of the Corps for the elections,” he said.

Audi stated that his administration has a zero tolerance for corruption and that “from the inception of this administration, we made it clear that we will do things as transparently as statutorily required,” adding that his administration has dismantled favoritism and other crass sentiments in the corps while also promoting competence and professionalism.

“I am certain that these inaugurated ACTU heads, led by Commandant Remi Ekundayo, will justify the confidence the corps has invested in them through hard work and humility in carrying out their duties and functions as required by ACTU Standing Order,” the CG said.

Prof. Bolaji Owasanoye, SAN, Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission ICPC, praised the Corps’ efforts in joining the fight against corruption in his goodwill message.
