The NYCN president expressed delight that the deployment of technology by the Corps since the assumption of office by Dr. Ahmed Audi is already yielding positive results.

Consequently, the youth body vowed to collaborate with NSCDC and other security agencies in building synergy to sensitize and train the Nigerian youths to be involved in the security of the country.
He further berated faceless organizations trying to tarnish the good image of the NSCDC under the leadership of Dr. Audi.
While acknowledging that the CG's transparency and sanitization drive may be met with stiff resistance by those who benefitted from the old order of corruption, he urged him to remain steadfast in the spirit of President Muhammadu Buhari's anti-corruption war.
In his response, the C.G of NSCDC reiterated that he is committed to rejigging, revamping, reengineering, restructuring, and rebuilding the agency with key priority on personnel welfare, training, and deployment of cutting edge technology in battling insecurity.
He further hinted of the introduction of Local Youth Information Corp at the local communities for the purpose of intelligence gathering across schools in order to intercept invasion and kidnap activities by bandits which is another first in the history of civil defense operations in the entire world.
