Gov Eno urges newly promoted Police officers to serve with diligence
Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has urged newly promoted officers of the Nigeria Police Force to continue their diligent service to the country.
Speaking during the decoration ceremony of the promoted officers serving in Government House, Uyo, the Governor noted that their elevation is a testament to their commitment and dedication to duty.
He congratulated them on attaining new heights while recalling that his father was not so fortunate, as his promotion to the rank of Chief Superintendent of Police came after he had passed away.
The Governor, himself a son of a police officer, the late CSP Bassey Eno, appreciated them for their service to the Akwa Ibom State Government and for serving the country with dedication and commitment.
While urging them to remain patriotic in their service, he reassured them of his continued support for the Nigeria Police Force as well as other security agencies in the State to maintain peace and security.
Earlier in his remarks, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Baba Mohammed Azare, commended the Governor for taking the time to honour his security aides by decorating them with their new official ranks. He also urged the newly promoted officers to double their efforts in service to their fatherland.
Those decorated included Superintendents of Police Yesufu Umar Faruk (ADC), Udeme Udo, Ukpong Mfonobong, and Deputy Superintendents of Police Katari John, Silas John, Usman Aliyu Turaki, Adeyemi Oluwafemi, Effiong Edem, Christopher Bassey, and Timfon John, the Force Public Relations Officer.
Present at the event were the Deputy Governor, Senator Akon Eyakenyi; Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Elder Udeme Otong; Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Elder Aniekan Akpan; Secretary to the State Government, Prince Enobong Uwah; Head of Service, Elder Effiong Essien; State Commissioners; Deputy Commissioners of Police; Permanent Secretaries; and others.
