The Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Abdullahi Gana Muhammadu, said the corps has destroyed 15 illegal refineries and illegal dumps, in the creeks.

In a statement, Thursday, from the corps spokesman, Emmanuel Okeh, Gana commended the effort of the personnel as well as the Commandant of Rivers State command, Mrs. Helen Amakiri, "for a successful operation in the creek leading to the destruction of 15 illegal refineries and illegal dumps."

Gana also appreciated the effort of the personnel across the Nation for providing security during the Eid-el-Kabir celebration.

He said ''I am happy with the pro activeness and doggedness of all of you in tackling insecurity in this year's Eid-el-Kabir celebration, and I pray that you keep it up at all times to justify the mandate of the Corps ''.

The Corps helmsman reiterated that in this ''ember'' season, the Corps has a lot to do especially in protecting Critical Infrastructure.

Gana noted that, the-get-rich-quick syndrome of the youths during this period is usually high considering the fact that "instead of celebrating Christmas festival in line with the Christian doctrine, youths usually take to crime and criminalities, in trying to grab at all cost what do not belong to them".

He therefore urged the security operatives, "to re-strategies the modus operandi in order to nip in the bud such vices."

He however debunked the speculations there is rift among the Management Team and urged the sectional heads to brief their Staff adequately against peddling false information on issues they are not clarified about.

If is that easy to create a refinery, why government just create mini-refineries every where? Obviously from the number of "illegal refineries" building refineries shouldn't a rocket science for a serious government.
