President Goodluck Jonathan in Abuja on Tuesday inaugurated the newly renovated complex of the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), with a charge to exhibit maintenance culture.<\/p>\n

Jonathan, who described the event as significant, said it was in furtherance of his administration\u2019s resolve to effective policing of lives and property of citizens across the country.<\/p>\n

Represented by Vice President Namadi Sambo, the president advised that strict code of maintenance should be put place and enforced to ensure effective usage of the complex.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cIt showcases the resolve of government to provide an enabling environment for the security of lives and property of Nigerians and that the necessary support infrastructure is also provided aimed at improving efficiency and welfare of the Police Force.\u201d<\/p>\n

The President commended the Inspector General of Police and his team for their efforts at repositioning the Nigeria Police Force for greater service, and also for carrying out the project at a reasonable cost. He charged the Police Force on proper maintenance of the building, which he described as beautiful.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt goes a long way to demonstrate the resolve and desire of the Inspector-General of Police for a modern and well-motivated Police Force. It is my advice that strict code of maintenance should be put in place and vigorously enforced to ensure that the building stands the test of time,\u201d the president said.<\/p>\n

Jonathan, while reiterating government\u2019s support to the Nigeria Police Force, implored Nigerians to rally round the Force in their arduous task of protecting lives and property of the citizenry.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, the Minister of Police Affairs, Caleb Olubolade, commended the police inspector general and his team for executing the project in record time. He observed that the building would provide the enabling environment for officers and men of the Force to carry out the task of checking crime and criminality in the society.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, said the project was part of the Police management team\u2019s determination to provide decent and conducive environment for officers and men of the Force for effective and efficient policing.<\/p>\n

Mr. Abubakar used the opportunity to express the gratitude of the Police Force to President Jonathan and Vice President Sambo for their untiring support to the Force. He charged the Police Force to respect the rights of suspects, stressing that all cases of violence against women and children should be accorded high priority.<\/p>\n

The occasion was attended by Service Chiefs, Heads of Paramilitary organisation, and other security agencies, former inspectors-general of police, serving and retired officers.<\/p>\n
