Abaniwonda Olufemi, the Delta Commissioner of Police, has assured of providing adequate security for lives and property in the state.
Mr Olufemi stated this during a familiarisation visit to the chairman and board members of Delta Security Trust Fund on Friday in Asaba.
”I pledge that we will give security our utmost best in the state.
”We will collaborate with all our sisters’ security agencies to give our best shots to ensure that Delta is safe,” he said.
The commissioner reiterated the commitment of the command to collaborate with the board on security the state.
“We would gladly work with you and we would gladly let you know our needs.”
He said that the success of the security trust fund started in Lagos, adding that the federal government noticed the successes and decided to replicate it at the federal level.
”The Police Trust Fund was set up to equip and retrain the Nigerian Police to better serve the people of Nigeria,” he said.
Mr Olufemi said that the trust fund support should not just be limited to the police alone, saying it should be extended to other security agencies.
“Security is not just one man’s business; security is a collective responsibility for all of us in the various security agencies and for the citizenry.
”Security encompasses all of us coming together to ensure we have a safer society where people and businesses can thrive.
”It is only in a safe environment that businesses can thrive and it is only in a safe environment development can come,” he said.
Earlier, the chairman of the board, Daniel Mayuku, reiterated the readiness of the board to partner with the police for mutual benefits.
”Our duty is to support you with logistics and infrastructure that will enable you to perform your duty well in Delta so that the state would be safe for its citizens.
”Our duty is also to work hand in hand with you and from time to time, we will be disturbing you.
”We will also be coming around to get advice from you on one or two things. We, as members of the board, are all civilians, and because we are civilians, we do not have 100 per cent details on what to do.
”I appeal that you open your doors to us when we come to consult you to enable us to have details of what you do,” he said.
The police commissioner presented a document conveying some of the needs of the command to the board chairman for consideration.
