Abdullahi Gana Muhammadu, the Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), has said the organization will no longer be involved in fracas with sister agencies, threatening to deal with any state commander of the Corps who engage in rivalry with other security agencies in the country.

The Commandant General said this while presenting his keynote address at the opening ceremony of a workshop on the significance of conflict prevention, peace building and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) on peaceful co-existence in Nigeria, organized in collaboration with UNDP in Abuja on Tuesday.

He said: "Any state command that fight with any security agency in the country henceforth, I will make sure that the state command is dealt with. If they are fighting you show them peace, show them that we are being paid by the same government.”

Gana made it clear that his leadership had resolved to work with all other security agencies in harmony so as to achieve the main mandate of security of lives and property in the country.

Also speaking at the opening ceremony of the workshop, the UNDP Mandisa Mashologu said the training could go a long way to help address various crisis facing the country.

Mashologu who was represented by his peace and development adviser, Takwa Zebulon Suifon, revealed that in 2016 alone, 12000 conflicts were resolved by the NSCDC, which he said had helped to reduce violence in the country.

While noting that there were much more to be done as Nigeria continues facing violent conflict, he said the selected officers attending the training were expected to help the country address the situation.
