The Commandant of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, (NSCDC), Benue State Command, Rev Philip Okoh, has bowed out of service after serving the corps meritoriously.
Speaking at the pull-out/send forth and retirement Parade held in his honour at the Benue State Command in Makurdi, Friday, Rev. Okoh appreciated God for his life and thanked the Commandant General, Ahmed Audi, for giving him the opportunity to serve.
Okoh, who was posted to Benue on 15th June 2021, also thanked Governor Samuel Ortom for accepting and supporting him from the first day he arrived in Benue until his time of retirement.
He urged the officers to keep up the spirit of service to humanity saying, “Service is not servitude. Service becomes servitude when you don’t know the reasons you are serving.
“When the purpose is not known, abuse is imminent. Stop complaining. Practice service with joy, serve God, serve humanity with gladness, and results will be achieved,” he advised.
Also speaking, the Commandant General, Ahmed Audi, represented by the 21/C, Zonal Commander, Zone H, Commandant Akpan Nsikan, described the state commandant, Philip Okoh, as very dynamic in the course of his work.
Earlier, Governor Samuel Ortom represented by his Special Adviser on Security Matters, Lt. Col. Paul Hemba, described Philip Okoh as a man of great vision who took the training and welfare of his men seriously.
