The Nigeria Association of Retired Civil Defense Officers (NARCDO) has called on the Federal Government to review the retirement benefits of officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC).

The association’s president, Deputy Commander (retd) Evans Yuram, said the appeal was aimed at bringing the force into a retirement and pension system on par with other government security agencies.

Yuurum made this statement at the inauguration of the 13-member committee responsible for formulating an operational plan for the smooth operation of NARCDO.

He said, “This association is an attached agency of the NSCDC and has been assigned the clear and distinct function of managing the affairs, activities, after-service life and living conditions of retired NSCDC officers across the country.

“The committee that has been inaugurated is the midwife to effectively keep on track an association that was established primarily to cater to the welfare and well-being of its members.

“They are to plan and coordinate actions and activities aimed at creating a blueprint for successful fundraising for the association’s operations.”

He further directed the new committee to submit its preliminary report within two weeks and asked the committee and other members of the association to carry out their designated duties.

He commended NSCDC boss Dr. Ahmed Audi for single-handedly creating an enabling environment for the launch of the association by providing the association with suitably furnished and rented office accommodation.

The Chairperson congratulated the FCT Minister, Mr. Nyesom Wike, on the progress made since his assumption of office, who appealed for the allocation of land to enable the construction of a permanent office for NARCDO.
