The Lagos State Commandant was received by the State Controller, Deputy Controller of Fire Oduyelu Olumuyiwa, who attested to the inseparable relationship between both agencies especially, in the areas of mutual training, operations and protection of lives and property of the people. He called on the NSCDC to continue to give them the needed support during their operations in order to prevent mob actions and other unforseen crises or disaster.
The NSCDC and Federal Fire Service in the state agreed also to implement the directives of the government in ensuring the fulfilment of the Joint National Fire Code, which is a comprehensive guideline for fire prevention and safety standards.
