Other component agencies are part of the election security committee and the NSCDC happens to be one of them and is ready.

“The command will be deploying a total of 3000 personnel just only for the elections.

“Much more personnel will be deployed to protect the critical infrastructural national assets and so on that day you may not only see 3000 personnel but more than that.

“Equally, other supporting units, for instance we will be using K-9 unit to assist in the provision of security. To this end, the command is fully ready. I also want to let you know that the Commandant General, Dr. Ahmed Abubakar Audi has supported the command with the required logistics and other instrument and equipment that would be needed in the elections so that we can have a free, fair and credible elections come 12th February, 2022”, he added.
