The Benue State government has signified its interest to partner the Nigerian Legion Corps of Commissionaires for improved security in the state.
Governor Samuel Ortom made the commitment in Makurdi, during the graduation ceremony of 295 cadets of Course 1, 2019, trained at the 72 Special Force Battalion of the Nigerian Army.
Ortom, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary of the state’s Ministry of Finance, Matthew Uyina, said his administration would also give logistics support to the security outfit in order to complement regular security agencies in the state.
Earlier, the Commandant General of the Nigerian Legion, Brig-Gen. Jones Akpa (rtd), intimated that the group still has agile men who can offer their services.
