Nigerian President Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari has commended Imo Governor, Rochas Okorocha, for his fight against criminality in the country.
The President gave the commendation while inaugurating the new headquarters of the Nigeria Prisons Service in Owerri on Thursday.
President Buhari, who was represented by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, said that the governor had practically demonstrated that he was the Chief Security Officer of Imo State.
He thanked the governor and people of Imo for supporting the criminal justice system in the country.
“Let me say, on behalf of President Muhammadu Buhari that I am here to inaugurate the Nigerian Prisons, Owerri.
“I congratulate Gov Okorocha on his support to the Federal Government of Nigeria in its efforts in handling the criminal Justice System.
“Your role as Chief Security Officer speaks for itself. You have done well,” Osibanjo said.
In his response, Gov. Okorocha thanked the President for permitting him to undertake a federal government project, while assuring him of the continued support of Imo people.
Osibanjo had earlier inaugurated the new Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport upon his arrival in the state.
Other projects commissioned by the Vice President on behalf of the President include the new Police Headquarters, Free Mother & Child Hospital, Rochas Foundation Road and Somto Hospital. (NAN)
