…tell us what we are not doing right – Commandant Fayemi
The State Commandant, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Ekiti State Command, Mr John Olatunde Fayemi has challenged Non-Governmental Organisations in the Country to continue in their efforts to support the protection of Fundamental Human Rights of the people by challenging Security Agencies on activities that are globally considered inimical to the protection of Civil and Fundamental Human Rights of the people.
Fayemi said this while receiving an Award of Service Ambassador by Advocacy for Peace and Values Re-Orientation, Abuja in his office along Ikere/Ado Road, Ekiti State as contained in a statement by the spokesman for the command Tolu Afolabi.

Comrade Abubakar explained that the choice and selection of Commandant Fayemi was based on the tested and proven records of his task oriented, humble and kind disposition, whose acumen and managerial activities have taken many people out of crimes, heal broken marriages through Alternate Dispute Resolution; creation of enabling environment for officers and men to grow on the job, and motivation to drive in needed impetus for the officers to perform in line with international best practices, in crime preventions and trouble shooting.
According to the statement, the State Commandant in his acceptance speech thanked the Organisation for recognizing Ekiti State NSCDC as one of the Award recipients.

He equally expressed gratitude to the State Government for their regular support in creating an enabling environment for the Corps to function.
Commandant Fayemi in acknowledging the premium of team spirit and cooperation of his Command management staff dedicated the award to them, as well as to all honest and hardworking Officers and Men of the Command.
