The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC) has described reports on the non-payment of personnel promotion arrears published on some online media platforms as misleading and baseless. Mr Afolabi said that the explanation became necessary following an unconfirmed report published in some online media platforms on Jan.23, regarding personnel welfare. He clarified that NSCDC Commandant General, CG, Ahmed Audi, has no control over the payment of salary arrears, promotion arrears or other emoluments. The spokesperson claimed that the current leadership of the corps inherited five years of unpaid salary arrears upon assumption of duty in 2021. She however said that it was out of place to say that the non-payment of promotion arrears is false because for years there has been no disbursement in that regard.
