The Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC, Uvwie Division, says it is ready to synergize efforts with the Warri, Uvwie and Environs Special Area Development Agency, WUEDA, towards achieving set goals and objectives of the Agency.
NSCDC’s Corps Superintendent, German Paulette Ariewhe, gave the assurance at Effurun on Thursday 25th April, 2024 when she led a team of Corps officers on a courtesy visit to the Agency’s Director General, Hon. Prince Godwin Ejinyere, in his office.
Corps Superintendent German, who hails from Oha in Okpe LGA of Delta State, told the Director General of WUEDA that she was posted to Uvwie a few weeks ago, pointing out that NSCDC was saddled with the responsibility to secure government assets under its watch.
Responding, the Director General of the Agency, Hon. Prince Godwin Ejinyere, appreciated the.
NSCDC officials from Uvwie Division, describing the NSCDC and WUEDA as partners in progress.
The WUEDA DG said the Agency’s tasks were enormous, including making sure that it reclaimed the lost glory of Warri, Uvwie and and the environs, adding that NSCDC was supposed to be part of WUEDA’s team during its core operations.
While informing the Corps Superintendent that WUEDA had taken its sensitization campaign on its mandate to many stakeholders such as royal fathers, government security outfits, Local Govt Chairmen and media houses, Hon. Ejinyere said WUEDA’s core duty was to rewrite the history of the Oil City positively so that things that went wrong could be corrected for all to enjoy.
He thanked God for the Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, for building on the efforts of former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, who established WUEDA.
He, however, lamented that the Warri, Uvwie and the environs of today had nothing working due to bad environmental habits of residents. “WUEDA wants to change the narrative about Warri, Uvwie and the environs”, he asserted.
Okakuro Ejinyere told the visiting NSCDC officials that a Mobile Court with one Magistrate for every LGA, had been approved by the State Justice Ministry for the Agency, urging NSCDC to join the team.
He noted that there were many illegal activities going on in the Oil City, which required a collective effort to have them eradicated.
The DG urged the NSCDC to do all it could to assist the Agency to achieve its mandate of making Warri and its environs great again, assuring that the Agency would work within the ambit of the law and not with gangsterism as it used to be in the past.
The NSCDC team also comprised Dep. Corps Superintendent Kessy Anighoro; Asst. Corps Superintendent Anthony Nwankwor; and Asst. Corps Superintendent Pauline Okomayin.
WUEDA’s Director of Admin and Finance, Mr. Simon Esi; Director of Finance, Appih Kingdom; HOD of Education, Health and Social Services, Mrs. Oke-Oghene Ogor; and the Legal Officer, Maro Nikoro, were present during the visit.
