UBTH police post gets facelift

The University of Benin Teaching Hospital’s (UBTH) police post has received a facelift under the leadership of Chief Medical Director (CMD), Professor (Mrs) Idia Ize-Iyamu, equipping it with modern facilities to reduce crime within the hospital community.

The previously non-functional police post now boasts state-of-the-art facilities, including air-conditioned offices, a 24-hour electricity supply, modern cells and convenience.

The upgrade promises to significantly reduce crime and enhance security for the entire hospital community.

Formerly dilapidated and largely inoperative, the outpost, situated within the hospital had been subjected to extensive refurbishment and modernisation.

Prior to the current UBTH administration’s proactive measures, the police station was in a considerable state of neglect, thereby impeding its functional capacity.

The comprehensive upgrade is anticipated to substantially fortify security protocols, aiding in the reduction of crime and the preservation of order both within the hospital and its immediate environs. Consequently, a more secure atmosphere for patients, staff and visitors is envisioned.

The revitalised UBTH police post now features cutting-edge amenities and purpose-built to amplify its operational effectiveness.

These advancements encompass climate-controlled offices for personnel, a dependable uninterrupted power supply, contemporary detention cells and improved essential facilities.

Such enhancements are poised to improve the working environment for the police officers assigned to the post, empowering them to be more effectively served the UBTH community.
