That’s why we made it a point of duty to respectfully come to congratulate you and wish you well in your assignment, and to continue to enjoy the support of the police force.”
The Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Academic, Professor Olufunsho Omobitan, and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Administration, Professor Adenike Boyo, were also on the delegation.
