According to him, this gesture is not only a testament to commitment to developing his community but also appreciation for the role of the police in ensuring the safety and security of citizens.

While noting that it was no secret that many police stations in Nigeria were plagued by lack of basic amenities and clean water was not an exception, he said the borehole was expected to provide a sustainable water source for the officers at the Mokola Police Station and its environs

On the other hand, he said the three solar inverters donated to Sango Police Station would ensure an uninterrupted power supply.

“Many police stations in Nigeria rely on generators, which are not only expensive to maintain but also tend to break down frequently. With the installation of the 3.5kva Inverter together with Solar panels, the station will be able to save costs and reduce its carbon footprint”, he added.
