NSCDC Operative Wins Car as Winner of Military-Security Marathon Championship

The Nigeria’s National Security Adviser (NSA), Major General Babagana Mongonu (Rtd) has said closer working relationship among security agencies is critical for synergy of efforts in securing the country.

Maj Gen Mongonu said this at the just concluded Third Edition of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Armed Forces and Security Agencies Half Marathon Champion where three brand new cars, a Toyota Yaris, Hyundai Salon and an SUV Jeep were presented to marathoners who emerged overall best marathoner/first male, first female and first veteran.

The NSA, who was the Special Guest of Honour at the event held in the Sports Complex of Aguiyi Ironsi Cantonment, stated that the needed physical and mental alertness of the security personnel is being enhanced through the marathon race, adding that the event will also promote cordiality, understanding, jointness and efficiency among the Armed Forces and other security agencies.

The NSA, whilst congratulating the winners for investing extra energy and effort to emerge proud winners of the laurels and star prizes commended the entire athletes for a successful completion of the race.

He pointed out that the determination and commitment displayed by the sport men and women during the road race, was a true reflection of the operational readiness of security agencies towards combating security challenges.

The NSA used the occasion to commend the CDS for his initiative in making the athletic event a reality. He urged heads of other security agencies to emulate the noble initiative to foster understating and closing working relationship among security agencies.

Earlier in his remarks, the CDS, General Gabriel Abayomi Olonisakin said the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) under his leadership would continue to leverage on the annual sporting event to promote comradeship in order to improve on the efficiency and delivery of security agencies.

Gen Olonisakin said the DHQ was committed towards developing the capacity and skill of the sport men and women in the Armed Forces. This, he explained was to restore the glorious days where military athletes were representing and winning laurels for Nigeria at international sporting events.
