The National Orientation Agency (NOA) will soon confer its Citizens’ Responsibility Recognition Award on seven police officers for their dedication and professional competence, displayed in their speedy unravelling of the circumstances surrounding the murder of Cynthia Osokogu.
In a press release, the Director-General of the agency, Mr. Mike Omeri, who disclosed this yesterday in Abuja, said the prompt, tactful and excellent manner in which the officers investigated the matter so far showed the efficacy of the reforms being carried out by the leadership of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
As part of its drive to promote positive value re-orientation among public office-holders, the agency will soon confer its awards on the seven police officers, who are drawn from the Area E Police Command in Lagos. They include a deputy superintendent of police (DSP), an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), two Assistant suPerintendents of Police and three other junior personnel.
In the words of Omeri: “We, at NOA, have been insisting on a re-evaluation and restructuring of the system of awards in this country.
“We will recognise these officers as good examples of excellence in service, diligence in duty and commitment to our collective war against crimes as a people,” Omeri said.
