No fewer than 140 personnel of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) have acquired new houses in Abuja under the corps’ Cooperative Society scheme.
NSCDC Commandant-General (CG), Ahmed Audi, on Tuesday in Abuja, handed over the keys to the houses which comprised of one, two and three bedroom flats as well as award letters to the beneficiaries.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the houses also comprised of 80 units at Grand Luvu Estate in Masaka, Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa and 60 units in Deidei area of the FCT.
Audi, while distributing the keys to the cooperative members, reiterated his commitment to an all inclusive welfare package for personnel to enhance effective livelihood and sustainability.
He noted that housing deficit was a challenge for both officers and men of the corps, and assured that more avenues would be explored to make available, affordable houses to personnel.
The CG admonished the beneficiaries to maximise the opportunities of owning houses of their own by doubling their efforts in their service to the nation.
Audi also performed a ground breaking and foundation laying ceremony of another 102 additional units of two and three bedrooms flats in Good Homes Estate in the Kuje area of the FCT.
The NSCDC Cooperative Society President, Assistant-Commandant Isa Yusuf, said that the houses acquisition was in pursuance to the CG’s charge of a better housing scheme for personnel.
Yusuf said that the cooperative executives would continue to work hard to adopt a more robust approach that would bring about more comfortable and affordable houses for its members with the best available equity. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
