The Inspector General of the Nigeria Police Force, Kayode Egbetokun has charged police officers in the country to add value to the force.
The police boss made the charge on Wednesday in Lagos during the commissioning of the new administrative building of Mopol 2 Squadron, Obalende, Lagos.
The IGP, who was represented by the Assistant Inspector General in charge of Zone 2, Lagos, Muhammed Alli noted that the construction of the new administrative building by the leadership of Mopol 2 is a value added to the Nigeria Police Force.
He commended the commander of the unit ACP Matthew Obiuwevbi, saying that the project came at a good time.
The IGP said “We are talking about what you can do to transform the NPF, I want to say that the building came at a very good time and inaugurating the project today is apt and I gladens my heart.
“This shows clearly the difference between people that I considered with foresight and those that I considered as greedy and of course, not having a good sight.
“There are some of us that find it difficult to bring out one naira from our pockets to do anything that would add value to wherever we are.
“With this building, he (ACP Obiuwevbi )has written his name is the Guinness Book of the Force.
“Whether he is here, or transferred, or retired, those yet unborn that will join the force in the future, will see his name on the plaque. He has added value to his name, family, community, state and the force. ”
The police boss also stated ” The inauguration of this project today is a wake-up call for all of us that anytime we find ourselves in position, we should add value. The project is good enough to advertise,” he said.
ACP Matthew Obiuwevbi in his welcome address said that he decided to carry out the project with his officers and men with a view to having a better office for everybody at the Mopol 2 squadron.
He added that the former administrative building was inadequate for all the officers of the squadron.
According to the Mopol Commander, the new building consists of 10 offices, a transit camp, a conference room and an administrative department.
