Mr William Odumu, who recently bagged an Award as Best Operation Officer of the Nigerian Police in Anambra State has expressed gratitude to the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Garba Umar for giving him the opportunity and platform to showcase his talent on the job.
Mr Odumu, a Superintendent, said this during an interview with newsmen in his office at the Police Command, Headquarters, Awka, also thanked Gov. Willie Obiano for honouring him.
He noted that the award would spur him to do more particularly in the area of carrying out his duty.
Mr Odumu said that the award series was the best thing to have happened to the command, especially in a clime where Police officers were hardly appreciated for their selfless service.
While advising other police personnel in the state to be committed and focused in their duties, the Mr Odumu reminded them that God always rewarded excellence.
This, he said could be better appreciated through the functionality of the recently launched joint task force tagged operation, ``Udoka’’ by Gov. Obiano.
He used the occasion to speak on the advocacy being conducted by the police (his team) to step down the message of peace and security at the grassroots.
``Anambra Government is doing great to ensure that the state remains crime free. We will all support to combat crime especially this Christmas period,’’ Odumu added.
