The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Police Affairs, Dr. Anuma Ogbonnaya Nila, has reiterated his commitment to ensuring the full implementation of Mr. President’s 8-Point Agenda as it affects the Police Ecosystem.
He stated this during a meeting with the Management and staff of the Ministry on his assumption of duty at the Ministry of Police Affairs Headquarters in Abuja.
The Permanent Secretary expressed his willingness to facilitate and fastrack the needs of the Rank and files in the police that would enable them to provide effective and efficient service delivery to the citizens and maximum security in the country.
In his words, “We can change the narratives and bring smiles to the faces of the wives, children, and police officers across the country. When you joke about the welfare of the police, you have insecurity. We have to join hands to ensure we address the challenges they have”.
I am aware of the main mandate of this Ministry, which is to ensure internal security through the support of the Police Ecosystem and to ensure effective security policy implementation by providing sufficient administrative support to the Nigeria Police and Police Academy as well as promoting community policing through engagement with the citizens and leadership in the community across the country. Dr. Anuma stressed.
He charged the directorate cadre, staff, and stakeholders to support him in discharging his duty in the Ministry, adding that he runs an inclusive and open-door policy for effective and efficient service delivery to Nigerians.
According to him, “I will run an open-door policy, well inclusive administration where everybody would be carried along. I am a true Nigerian, a detribalized person who works with all ages, and my loyalty is 100 percent to the Honourable Minister, the CEO and Head of the Police Ecosystem”.
Earlier, the Director overseeing the office of the Permanent Secretary, Mr. Okehie Isaac Tochukwu, in his welcome remarks, said that the management and staff of the Ministry are ready to cooperate and support Dr. Anuma to achieve the mandate of the Ministry.
