Commandant General Audi emphasised the importance of citizens supporting President Bola Tinubu's policies and programs for a better Nigeria. He stressed that effective security in the country required the cooperation of every citizen, and urged Nigerians at all levels to provide credible information to help prevent and combat crime.
"In the face of insecurity, it is crucial that we take immediate action. If you see something, do not waste time saying something," Mr Audi advised, highlighting the need for prompt reporting of suspicious activities or individuals.
The NSCDC boss further emphasised that a secure society, free from crimes, was essential for the nation's growth and development. He emphasised that increased national security consciousness was the first step towards fostering a shared sense of national identity and promoting understanding among diverse ethnic groups, religions, tribes, and organisations.
In addition to the citizens' role, Mr Audi called on governments at all levels to provide support to security agencies in order to enhance their effectiveness in crime prevention and control. He emphasised the importance of synergy and collaboration among security agencies, echoing President Bola Tinubu's advice on the need for coordination in delivering efficient services.
Mr Audi highlighted the significance of a strong internal security apparatus that is devoid of unhealthy rivalries in the fight against crime and criminality. He emphasised that preserving Nigeria's democracy required a collective effort, with the protection of the people and critical national assets being a crucial role of the security agencies.
The NSCDC Commandant General's call to action serves as a reminder that the fight against crime and the preservation of Nigeria's democracy are responsibilities shared by all. By actively participating and providing valuable information, citizens can contribute to the creation of a safer and more prosperous Nigeria. It is through this collective effort and cooperation that the nation can overcome security challenges and ensure a brighter future for all its citizens.
