Abia police begin beatification of premises

The police authorities in Aba, the commercial hub of Abia State, have commenced the beautification of its premises geared towards providing a healthy environment for its personnel and residents alike.

The command is also constructing a car park for visitors as well as two churches—one for the Catholic faithfuls and the other for non-Catholics and a mosque for Muslims.

Rabiu Dayi, the Aba area commander of the Nigerian Police, in an interview with journalists stated that the ongoing projects, sponsored by the public, government and the office of the Inspector General of Police, were in line with the transformation agenda of the Federal Government.

He explained that the command has removed all abandoned vehicles within its vicinity and carted away a refuse heap, which they explained has been deposited in front of its premises for about 50 years.

According to Dayi, “A clean environment is a healthy environment and if we do not keep our environment clean, we will not also be clean inside and that is why shabbily dressed police personnel behave in a nasty manner. When you see well dressed police personnel, I bet you, you must get positive service from him/her.

He appealed to the public to emulate the command by keeping their environments clean, stressing that they should not wait for government to do everything for them.

“I expect residents of this city to also clean up their environments to help government achieve a clean and healthy environment devoid of diseases. They should not leave it in the hands of government alone, just as security is for all and not just for the police and government alone.

“Before I came in here, our surroundings served as toilet to the police and residents. They also used part of our frontage as a dumpsite. So, since this command was established, residents were disposing off their refuse there. So for many years the refuse was not removed until now. However, I have taken time to remove the refuse, planted trees and grasses as well as erected some artworks in front of our gate to beautify the place,” he said. source :http://www.businessdayonline.com/NG/index.php/city-file/city-file/53052-abia-police-begin-beatification-of-premises
