The Akwa Ibom state command of the Nigeria Police has lauded the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) for executing and completing an expansive solar lighting project at its headquarters in Ikot Akpan Abia.
The Commissioner of Police, CP Baba Mohammed Azare, stated this Wednesday in Uyo when he received a delegation from the state office of the NDDC, led by Apostle Abasiandikan Nkono, the commissioner representing Akwa Ibom state on the commission’s governing board.
He acknowledged that the development has had a positive impact on the command, adding that it has strengthened synergy between the police and the commission.
“NDDC has done us well. Today, in this command headquarters, you cannot differentiate whether it is day or night because our premises are always well-lit. Our premises, offices, and gadgets are now powered, and we run our operations without hitches. Thank you very much for the gesture,” CP Azare said.
The Commissioner of Police informed the delegation that the command has officially notified the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, of the development.
He also appealed for intervention in other areas.
“Be rest assured that we will continue to partner with you; anything you want, just knock, and we will answer because we are partners in progress,” he assured.
Speaking on behalf of the NDDC delegation, Apostle Nkono congratulated CP Azare on the successes recorded in combating crime by the command under his stewardship, saying it is proof of the police commissioner’s commitment to effective policing.
