“However, we expect you to play your own part by being security conscious at all times. You must avoid risky engagements such as staying out late at night, attendance of late-night parties, visitation of dangerous places, and acceptance of car ride from strangers”, he said.
Ibrahim also reminded the Corps members of the need to observe COVID-19 protocols, saying, “the Federal Government’s directive on the presentation of the evidence of COVID-19 vaccination as a prerequisite for gaining entry to public offices subsists.
“You are, therefore, advised to take the vaccine if not done already. In addition, I charge you to help in sensitizing members of the host communities about preventive measures, including the need to accept the vaccines.”
