The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has issued 24 operational licenses to qualified and deserving private security firms at the Corps National Headquarters, Abuja, in line with the provisions of the Private Guard Companies Act.
Olusola Odumosu, the spokesman of the Corps, said the NSCDC Commandant General, Dr Ahmed Abubakar, charged the new entrants into the industry to use their new operational licenses to contribute their quota to promoting internal security as the nation tilts towards the yuletide and the 2023 general elections.

He explained that the new wave of crime occasioned by activities of bandits, terrorists and kidnappers is asymmetric in nature, saying private guard companies have vital roles to play in entrenching peace, safety and security.
