The Kogi State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Mr. Aletan Olumide Ebenezer, has commended the Chairman of G1 Group and Social Democratic Party (SDP) House of Representatives candidate for Ankpa Federal Constituency, Prince Gowon Enenche, for his commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and people-oriented developmental interventions across his constituency and beyond.
The commendation was made when Prince Enenche paid a courtesy visit to the NSCDC State Command Headquarters in Lokoja, where he held discussions with the State Commandant on the newly constructed NSCDC Divisional Office in Imane, Olamaboro Local Government Area of Kogi State.
During the visit, Enenche formally informed the Commandant that the facility, constructed through his personal intervention, had been completed and was ready for handover to the Corps. He also sought clarification on the administrative procedures and modalities required for its formal transfer ahead of the proposed commissioning.
The intervention is aimed at strengthening the security architecture of Olamaboro and neighbouring communities within Ankpa Federal Constituency by providing the NSCDC with improved operational facilities to discharge its statutory responsibilities.
Responding, Commandant Aletan expressed appreciation to Prince Enenche for the initiative, describing the construction of the divisional office as a significant contribution to community security and institutional development.
He particularly applauded Enenche’s commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility, noting that his various developmental projects across Ankpa Federal Constituency and beyond demonstrate a commendable sense of responsibility towards community advancement.
The Commandant further acknowledged his contributions to public-oriented initiatives, observing that such commitment to addressing societal needs reflects the qualities expected of individuals seeking leadership positions.
He described Enenche as the kind of person people deserve to see in elected public office, given his demonstrated interest in community development and support for public institutions.
The engagement also underscored the importance of collaboration between private individuals, community stakeholders and government institutions in tackling security challenges and promoting sustainable development.
Speaking on the motivation behind the project, Prince Gowon Enenche maintained that security remains fundamental to the growth, stability and prosperity of every community.
According to him, strengthening the operational capacity and presence of security agencies is essential not only for the protection of lives and property but also for creating an enabling environment for businesses, investments and economic activities to thrive.
“Security is the foundation upon which meaningful development is built. When our communities are safe, businesses can flourish, investors can operate confidently, and our people can pursue their legitimate economic activities without fear,” Enenche stated.
He reaffirmed his commitment to supporting initiatives that address critical community needs, strengthen public institutions and contribute meaningfully to the overall development of Ankpa Federal Constituency.
The proposed formal handover and commissioning of the Imane NSCDC Divisional Office is expected to further strengthen the operational presence of the Corps in the area, with the facility serving Imane and neighbouring communities.
The development represents another example of private-sector and individual contributions complementing government efforts towards improved security, institutional capacity and grassroots development.
