Mr. Odumosu however, urged residents of the FCT to support the Corps by providing the organization with vital information so they could serve them better.
“Security of these infrastructure is the responsibility of all of us, we can not achieve much without your involvement as end users, we need your support to keep this facilities safe at all times,” he added.
The Commandant reiterated that “to whom much is given, much is expected”.
He further appealed to all well meaning Nigerians and the government to support the Corps by providing more operational vehicles, communication gadgets and motorbikes for easy accessibility of difficult terrains.
“FCT is big; we have patrol vehicles but because of the nature of security we are to provide, the vehicles available are insufficient, but that will not deter us from carrying out our assigned duties,” he concluded.
