NewBec Empowerment Foundation Pays Courtesy Visit to NSCDC Edo State Command to Strengthen Partnership

In a significant move to deepen collaboration and enhance community-based interventions, the NewBec Empowerment Foundation recently paid a courtesy visit to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) Edo State Command. The visit was aimed at fostering mutual understanding, exploring areas of synergy, and strengthening the strategic partnership between both entities in the collective effort to promote security, empowerment, and sustainable development across Edo State.

Led by its executive leadership, the NewBec Empowerment Foundation delegation was warmly received by the Commandant and senior officers of the NSCDC. During the visit, discussions centered around cooperative efforts in youth empowerment, protection of vulnerable groups, promotion of community safety initiatives, and support for rehabilitative programs for at-risk individuals.

The Foundation, known for its impactful work in areas such as skills acquisition, women and youth empowerment, advocacy against gender-based violence, and support for marginalized communities, acknowledged the pivotal role the NSCDC plays in maintaining civil order and protecting lives and property.

In her remarks, the leadership of NewBec expressed gratitude to the NSCDC for its continued commitment to peace and security, while emphasizing the need for multi-sectoral collaboration in addressing the socio-economic challenges facing many Nigerian communities. She noted that true national progress can only be achieved when security agencies and civil society organizations work hand-in-hand to address both the root causes of insecurity and the barriers to social inclusion.

The Commandant, in response, commended NewBec Empowerment Foundation for its proactive and consistent support to grassroots development. He reaffirmed the NSCDC’s readiness to collaborate on joint initiatives that aim to promote peace education, youth engagement, gender equality, and social rehabilitation programs, especially within rural and underserved areas.

The visit concluded with a renewed commitment from both parties to formalize their partnership through joint projects, community outreach activities, and stakeholder dialogues, aimed at building a safer and more empowered society.
