The courtesy call was ably led by the State Commandant, Chaplain Dr. Joseph N. Ekwunife ACG JP.

The State Commandant, Chaplain Dr. Joseph N. Ekwunife ACG, informed the SSG that the Command has demonstrated unequalled resilience, determination, and selfless sacrifice to sustain the laudable initiative for 13 years without any financial support from the State Government. He appealed to the SSG to use her privileged office to appeal to His Excellency, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo CFR, to support the Command's efforts through the provision of operational vehicles and funding — to enable them effectively cover the 274 public secondary schools in Anambra State where they teach, counsel, and mentor students on values regeneration and character reformation.
