Ahead of the 2027 general elections, Gowon Enenche, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate for the Ankpa Federal Constituency in Kogi State, has handed over a newly constructed facility to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) division in Imane, located within the Olamaboro Local Government Area.
Enenche said the project was aimed at strengthening security in Olamaboro and neighbouring communities within the constituency.
Speaking during a visit to the Kogi State NSCDC Commandant, Aletan Olumide Ebenezer, on Tuesday in Lokoja, he said the initiative underscored the need for collaboration between individuals, communities and government institutions to address security challenges.
He said a stronger presence of security agencies would protect lives and property and create a safe environment for businesses and investments.
“The project has been completed. We are here to seek clarification on the necessary administrative procedures and modalities for the formal handover of the facility to the Corps ahead of its proposed commissioning,” he said.
Enenche reaffirmed his commitment to supporting initiatives that address community needs, strengthen public institutions and promote development in the constituency.
Responding, the state NSCDC commandant, Ebenezer, commended Enenche, who is also the chairman of G1 Group, for his commitment to corporate social responsibility and development projects.
He described the donation as a significant contribution to community security and institutional development in the area.
