The Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command, Olusola Odumosu, has called on personnel to prioritise their health in order to enhance efficiency and productivity in the discharge of their duties.
Odumosu made the appeal during a health awareness programme organised for officers at the command headquarters in Abuja on Friday.
He stressed that security work is physically and mentally demanding, hence officers must ensure regular medical check-ups, proper nutrition, and physical fitness to remain effective in safeguarding lives and property.
“An unhealthy officer cannot give his or her best. Our duty requires alertness, strength, and resilience, and these can only be guaranteed when we take our health seriously.”
He further urged officers to take advantage of health initiatives being introduced by the command, including medical outreach and wellness campaigns, to detect ailments early and adopt healthier lifestyles.
The commandant noted that the Corps is committed to the welfare of its personnel, adding that the leadership of NSCDC under Dr. Ahmed Audi, Commandant General, has continued to strengthen policies that promote staff wellbeing and operational excellence.
Medical experts at the event conducted free health checks and sensitisation on preventive care, while encouraging officers to avoid self-medication and seek professional medical advice when necessary.
