Chief Success Akagburuonye, a prominent philanthropist, businessman and lawyer, has donated an ultramodern administrative building to the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Imo.
Akagburuonye announced this when he laid the first blocks for the building during a brief groundbreaking ceremony at the NSCDC Imo Command headquarters in Owerri, on Thursday.
Our correspondent reports that the philanthropist had, in November 2025, donated an Area Command Office in Ogbor-Uvuru, Aboh Mbaise county area of Imo, to the NSCDC.
Akagburuonye, who hails from Ezinihitte Mbaise council area of Imo, said that the donation was part of his support for the NSCDC and for the state Government’s efforts to improve the security of the state.
He thanked President Bola Tinubu for recently entrusting the NSCDC with the duty of securing VIPs in the country, and said that with this additional responsibility, the Corps would need improved working conditions, hence his donation of the office complex.
“ With the recent responsibility given to the NSCDC, you surely need improved shelters to aid your existing competence, efficiency and dexterity “, he said.
He thanked the NSCDC Commandant in Imo, Mr Basil Igwebueze, for his goodwill which attracted the donation, and called on other well meaning sons and daughters of Imo to support government’s efforts.
Speaking, Igwebueze thanked Akagburuonye for the “kind gesture”, adding that the donation would “strengthen the efficiency of the command.”
Igwebueze shared the felicitations of the Corps’ Commandant-General, Prof. Abubakar Ahmed-Audi, whom he said received the news of the donation with excitement.
He thanked Imo people for “rallying behind the Gov. Hope Uzodinma-led government” in supporting the security of the state, while restating the NSCDC’s unflinching commitment to the security of lives and critical national assets.
The event was attended by representatives of the Imo House of Assembly as well as religious leaders.
