The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Mr Kayode Egbetokun, has commended Governor Peter Mbah for his efforts to secure lives and property in Enugu State and provide dividends of democracy to the people of the state.

The IGP gave the commendation when he led a police team to the office of the Enugu governor on Friday.

The courtesy visit by Egbetokun was ahead of President Bola Tinubu’s one-day state visit to Enugu state on Saturday.

Egbetokun also commended Governor Mbah the support he had rendered to the Nigeria Police Force to provide and ensure peace and security in the state.

“Your commitment to our shared goal of a safer Nigeria is truly commendable. You are doing great things in Enugu State.

“The report I have been getting in Enugu has been truly good. I am very happy to hear the force of work you are doing in the state to ensure that the people of the state enjoy the dividends of democracy.

“I am pleased to note that the collaboration between the Nigeria Police and Enugu State Government has continued to yield excellent results and we are determined to build on this success,” he said.

He added that in 2025, the force would prioritise community engagement, professionalism and ethical conduct of officers.

Speaking, Gov Mbah thanked the IGP for the strong support given to his administration to fight crime and secure lives and property.

“We cannot thank you enough for the interest you have shown and continued to show in the security matters of Enugu State.

“You may not have been here before now, but from the outset, we have felt your presence here because you have provided us with all the support, both material and human that we need to fight the challenges of insecurity to a standstill,” Mbah said.
