[size=14pt]Jonathan pays surprise visit to Ikeja Police College[/size]

Unbelievable! President Goodluck Jonathan and the Commandant, Police College, Ikeja, Lagos, Irimiya Yerima, during Jonathan’s visit to the college... on Friday.

President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday surprised the authorities of the Lagos State Police Command when he paid an unscheduled visit to the Police College, Ikeja.

With the President were the Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Zone 2, Mr. Mamaah Tsafe; the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Umar Manko and other military and air force officers.

Jonathan, who arrived at the college premises at about 3 pm, immediately proceeded on an inspection tour of the hostels, college kitchen, dining hall and the Officers’ Mess.

For the college authorities, the visit was nothing short of an embarrassment as the commandant of the college, CP I.F. Yerima was unable to tell the President how and when Channels TV filmed the decay in the college. 

In an attempt to salvage the situation, Yerima had turned to his deputy and other senior officers of the college for assistance but all kept mute.

Enraged, Jonathan declared the documentary by the TV station a smear campaign.

He said, “This is a calculated attempt to damage the image of this government. The Police College, Ikeja is not the only training institution in Nigeria.”

Meanwhile, a crowd of recruits, who had gathered to catch a glimpse of the President, hailed him repeatedly for his visit.

They said, “Our number one President, the God sent President, the President of Nigeria, among others.” Jonathan acknowledged the cheers by raising his right hand.

However, a senior police officer of the college told Saturday PUNCH on the condition of anonymity that the decay in the college began more than a decade ago.

slim fit :


That stadium should be sold and demolished its a waste of resources what does Lagos want to do with 2 stadium s that very closed to each other sell it to property agents or churchs. It's surplus to requirement

talktimi: sold/demolished isn't the way to go, remember the lagos state govt met the national stadium whr it is and still decided to build the teslim balogun directly opposite, as a kid growing up and going to primary & secondary sch thru that axis I always wondered at the logic. In my opinion, the national stadium lagos should be concessioned to a private individual for 10/30 yrs who's main job IS stadium facility management. Such an enterprise will know how to manage the stadium better while those who have been in charge of the stadiums for the past 10yrs should be queried and those found culpable for the rot should be retired. Money is released each year for maintenance but civil servants are the most corrupt individuals in Nigeria.

naptu2:

Would you believe that in the mid 2000s area boys in Surulere wrote to the stadium management that they want to be given the chance to manage the stadium. That they'd do a good job if given the opportunity (I'm not kidding).

If placed under the right management, that stadium is a cash cow.

By the way, there was already a stadium at the site of the present Teslim Balogun Stadium. It was known as UAC Stadium. The stadium was demolished in 1987 and construction work began on the Teslim Balogun Stadium (it took 20 years to complete the stadium).

ITbomb: So Presido dey visit Nairaland , or did any other media report about this Police College before Nairaland?

Sincere 9gerian:
You call those PAY-AS-YOU-GO critics "average Nigerians"? They are not average Nigerians but few persons who are PAID to criticise and those who criticise because their party or tribesman is not in power.

Prof Corruption:

That tells it all. GEJ is too narrow minded.

ogbeche77: you are on point, cos it an unsheduled visit,even the college commandant was not aware GEJ ll be visiting but JOHN MOMOH was there with his crew, the only media crew there aside NTA

obitrac: You are d fattest fool in Nigeria

The evil-protector came to Lagos unannounced and people thought he came to question those who reduced the college to this level of mockery. They didn't know he came to find out if it was a lie so he can punish Channels TV. Jonathan is the shame of this country. For the 1st time, I was almost getting excited that Jonathan had acted smart...only for him to question why they allowed the filming. I've always known this. I've been to about 3 police barracks myself. They are worse than slums. I expected a query to Police authorities responsible for police welfare immediately after that visit, not an accusing finger at Channels TV!

Kamanda:

That is the Problem.

Our President just cashed in on this OP to score cheap points.
For all the Kangaroos Jumping to the gallery watch out.

Our Presido if he truly cares should have sacked somebody on the Spot.
The Head of the Colledge,the Police Service Commission,Ministry of Police Affairs,IGP.
I don't expect jonathan to know about the state of the College neither do I hold him responsible for the state of the school but he has seen it for himself.Will he take action and do the needful?........Well,you all know your President..........committee....

aribisala0: Commandant and Minister should be made to sleep there till it is fixed

Prof Corruption:

That tells it all. GEJ is too narrow minded.

Find Out!:


Lol. Now thats likely what a Buhari/Idiagbon/Murtala Mohammed would do
Millitary rule had its benefits I tell you. By now, at the very least, some people would have been sacked.

kaze4blues: While gov fashola is busy commisionin nd inspectin projects all thru State, mr jonathan is busy wt busybody visits ddat add no value to governance.



Really pity ds shithole called naija....

2Legit2Qui:

You are so obsessed with your bring him down attitude. What wrong has he done this time around? A report came out and he went to physically see it, your blood pressure rose to high heavens, you dont know what to say but to blame it on the media, especially Channels TV. Be objective sometimes. What wrong has this man done this time around?

Funkymallam:

I give up on you. You are irredeemable! Making up allegations to make you look smart but guy you are totally lost.
What would you and your ilk say if after the went viral with those disgusting pictures of the college and nothing is done about it? Same confused arm-chair critics as you will sit in one hut and spew rubbish.

The president got to know of the rot there through the report in the media just as you and I and decided to have a first hand assessment of the situation on ground and yet you are there dinning on the wine of foolishness.
