Gana Mohammed, the Commandant-General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence

commendation for increased efficiency in the area of disaster management
through search, rescue, rehabilitation as well as mitigation, among other

become more responsive in achieving its mandate as well as displaying
transparency in recruitment process. Said one Dominic Olowu “Gana is
trustworthy, reliable and very upright in all his transaction”. Mr. Dominic who

own remarks enjoined what he called the NSCDC family to resist every temptation
