The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has posted a new Commandant, Mr. Everestus Obiyo to Anambra.

Okadigbo said Obiyo, the 13th State Commandant of NSCDC, Anambra Command, assumed duty on Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2021.
He said that Ogu had been redeployed to NSCDC National Headquarters Abuja.
The command’s spokesman described Obiyo as a seasoned officer who had demonstrated competence and administrative acumen in past positions held.
“Before his recent posting to Anambra, Obiyo was the Commandant, Intelligence and Investigation Department at the NSCDC Zone E, Zonal Headquarters Owerri, Imo State.
“He has served as State Commandant in Kogi, Ogun and Enugu States respectively.
“He has vast knowledge of the job having also served in over 21 state commands of the federation and held several appointments among others,’’ Okadigbo said.
According to him, the new state commandant solicited maximum support and cooperation of Anambra people and residents to enable him discharge the constitutional mandate of NSCDC in the State. (NAN)
