NCS Partners Police For Efficient Policing
The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS), Enugu State Command has expressed its readiness to continue to build a robust cooperation with the Nigeria Police to create efficient policing in the State.
The Controller of Corrections in Enugu State, Mr Joseph Emelue, disclosed this while receiving the new state Commissioner of Police, Mr Mohammed Aliyu, during a courtesy call to the NCS Enugu State Command headquarters on Wednesday.
Emelue stated that NCS Enugu State Command had continued to work with various commissioners of police in the state, adding, “It is time to take the cooperation to a higher level’’.
According to him, “without close collaboration and understanding, we cannot run an efficient policing system in the state.
“I believe that the coming of Aliyu will ensure we achieve the envisaged robust cooperation between the Nigeria Police Command in Enugu State and NSC Enugu State Command’’.
The controller therefore used the occasion to thank the police for assisting the NSC in conveying the inmates to court as well as other joint exercises by both commands.
He also prayed the Almighty God to protect the new Police commissioner and uplift him higher.
Earlier, Aliyu said that it was his tradition to personally pay a courtesy call and familiarise himself with institutions and organisations close to the police.
As sister security agency, “we need to put heads together and achieve better working understanding in the state”.
Commissioner Aliyu made it clear that the whole idea was aimed at working as a team for “us to cooperate in executing our work.
“We also seek greater synergy among ourselves to make our cooperation seamless’’, he added.
