The commissioning which was attended by Legit.ng, took place during a pulling-out-parade ceremony by the FFS in Abuja recently.
At the well-attended ceremonial pullout occasion of retired officers, the minister of interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola was the guest of honour while the permanent secretary of the ministry; Dr. Shuaib M Belgore, attended the event.
During their speeches at the event, the minister and the permanent secretary commended the CG of the FFS with praises due to his performance and how he transformed the service in just a short while.
Meanwhile, to increase service delivery of the FFS, the federal government has made a move to acquire 15 fire fighting trucks from Portugal to support accident rescue missions across the country.
As part of the process to secure the trucks, a team led by the CG of the FFS, Dr. Liman A. Ibrahim paid a visit to the European country on Friday, June 4.
Legit.ng gathered that the Nigerian delegation inspected the trucks being manufactured at Jacinto Fire Trucks Manufacturing Industry, in the commercial and industrial city of Porto.
The Controller General of the FFS was accompanied on the working visit by very senior officers in the FFS and some experts working with the Service over the years.
