Earlier in his presentation of the new camouflage uniform, Commandant General of NSCDC Abubakar Audi (PhD) told the Minister that operatives of the corps took part in all joint operations, both kanitive and non kanitive and decried only NSCDC that doesn’t have camouflage uniform in the midst of other security services.

He assured that the new camouflage would inspire confidence and also boost the morale of officers while on operations, adding that the officers have been yearning for the camouflage in order to blend with their counterparts in other services.

CG Audi, also assured that the new camouflage would be used by Agro Rangers while on operations in farm lands, being part of the corps arms squared.
