The officials of Federal Road safety Corps; Prison service and National Youth Service Corps joined in the 10-kilometre match that lasted for over four hours.
“We want to promote comradeship and spirit of oneness with sister security agencies to create understanding and seamless interface for quick result whenever we carry out joint internal security duties,” he said.
On the quarterly routine march, the commander said that it was meant to keep the officers and men of NAF in shape.
