As part of activities to commemorate the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) 2024 Servicom week, the Delta State Command over the weekend played host to stakeholders, including members of Civil Society groups, the Police Community Relations Committee, (PCRC) among others.
During the week, the Command engaged members of various communities in town hall meetings, and students of various higher institutions in the state where concerns were raised and possible solutions deliberated upon.
The Command also visited some primary and secondary schools, carried out humanitarian services and assisted some of the pupils with books and uniforms, while using the opportunity to encourage them to be steadfast in their academics and shun all forms of criminal activities.
During the closing event, Comrade Akima Efemena commended the police in Delta State for their unwavering dedication to duty in maintaining peace and order.
He acknowledged the fact that police duties came with a lot of pressure and expectations and assured the Command of continued support and partnership.
Comrade Efemena stated that the security situation in Delta State had seen significant improvement largely due to the strategic deployment of intelligent officers by the commissioner of Police CP Olufemi Abaniwonda and hoped that the Command would maintain the zeal and commitment going forward.
The Chairman of PCRC Delta State chapter, Comrade Amb. Oliver Eyefia noted that the leadership of the body was pleased with the Command’s service delivery so far, adding that the Command’s synergy with the community was top-notch and should be sustained.
