In view of this, he explained that effective intelligence gathering, Information sharing, cooperation, and other areas of mutual understanding would go a long way to enhance their respective performance.
He said the visit was part of his familiarization tour of the state after his assumption of office, noting that it would strengthen the command’s synergy with the department.
In a welcome remarks, the director assured the commandant of her readiness to work in synergy with the command to deliver their respective mandates.
She said: “The department has a long history of smooth working environment with the corps and this would be sustained under my watch.”
