The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Police Affairs, Mr. James Sule,has advised Nigerian youths and staff of the Ministry not to join anybody to destroy the country.
Sule said the government is doing its best to reposition the economy given the global challenges from COVID-19, Russia-Ukraine war and insecurity in the country.
He stated this during a handing over ceremony at the headquarters of the Ministry in Abuja, calling on the staff to work as a team and be careful of destructive elements in the society whose actions do not promote a peace.
He said, “The economic challenges are not peculiar to this country alone but affect nations globally. We should not join them to destroy the country.
“We are not saying there is no shortcoming but gradually we come out of it to reposition the country.”
Sule added that the Ministry has been saddled with the responsibility of repositioning the Police Force to be well motivated, people friendly, and ensure the safety and security of Nigerians.
“That means we have a part to play in ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of the police service delivery in Nigeria,” he stressed.
“I am assuring you that I will do my best and I want all of us to see ourselves as leaders. Everything starts and ends with leadership.
“Open your doors and have a listening ear to staff working with you and offer any help you can. We still have a lot to do to improve the service delivery of the Nigeria Police to meet global standards”.
Earlier, the outgoing Permanent Secretary, Dr. Nasir Sani Gwarzo, pointed out that once the Nigeria Police is reformed, the country will be better.
“The police became more endeared to my heart because of the potential to turn around the country. Whatever little achievement you record, it may be small in your view but has a strong transformative effect on the entire nation.
“Your achievement here has a magnifier that would amplify the volume of benefits that you would contribute to the nation,” Gwarzo said.
