NSCDC to establish peace clinics in North-east communities

The Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Abdullahi Gana Muhammadu has said his agency has concluded plans to establish Peace Clinics in Boko Haram ravaged communities in the North-east in order to re-enforce the peace and confidence of returnees to liberated areas.
Gana, who has since resumed work in the region following a presidential directive, said he has visited the various states within the zones to ensure adequate deployment of personnel to schools, worship centres, market places, shopping malls and all other identified black spots, critical infrastructure within the states.
In a statement signed by the NSCDC spokesman Okeh Emmanuel, said the CG had charged personnel in Adamawa and Taraba commands to live up to expectation in the discharge of their mandate.
“The Corps has resolved to establishing Peace clinics in every community of the state in order to re-enforce the peace and confidence of returnees to liberated areas,” the CG said.
“That, since the Corps through the UNDP has trained and certified over 5,000 personnel on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and Chartered Mediation, such personnel would be deployed to man those offices in order to put their professionalism and training into practice.”
Gana assured the residents of government support and tasked them saying ‘’to whom much is given; much is expected, Nigeria is our home, we do not have any other home except this and we shall guide it jealously and not allow it to fall because that is the dream of our heroes past.”
