NDDC pledges support to police force and other security agencies

Dr. Samuel Ogbuku, the Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission, says that the Commission would not compromise in its efforts to help the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies in the area so they may operate as efficiently as possible.

Ogbuku stated this when the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Bala Mohammed, recently redeployed to Rivers State, paid him a courtesy visit at the Commission’s headquarters in Port Harcourt.

This was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the Director of Corporate Affairs, NDDC, Seledi Thompson-Wakama and sent to newsmen.

Ogbuku added that despite the commission’s recent donation of operational vehicles and communication gadgets to the Rivers State Police Command, a contract award for supplying Solar – lights to the nine police state command headquarters in the region will soon be concluded.

He assured: “The Niger Delta Development Commission is committed to giving adequate support to the Nigeria Police and other security agencies in the region to ensure effective job performance.

“As part of this commitment, we have been able to provide security gadgets and operational vehicles to the police and we are determined to collaborate and link up with other state commissioners of police and sister security agencies in the region to enhance their operations.”

The NDDC boss commended the Rivers State Commissioner of Police for his good track record and achievements, as well as the police command’s successes in fighting crime, thus minimising the number of kidnappings and other criminal activities in the state.

Earlier, the Rivers State Commissioner of Police said he was at the commission headquarters on a familiarisation visit and to seek the support of the NDDC in fighting crime and criminality in the state.

The police boss, who underscored the importance of community policing, observed that the interface with NDDC would promote a healthy synergy in security and intelligence gathering.

He also urged the public not to hesitate to report police misconduct to his office for disciplinary action.
