CP Ikioye Orutugu, who was newly promoted to Commissioner of Police of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has promised to invest the same energy has invested in the Nigeria Police Force work all these years to also use in serving his country.
CP Ikioye Orutugu who is from Brass Local Government of Bayelsa State assured that he will use the same passion he has put in the work all these while to make sure that the Nigeria Police gets better.
Speaking on Sunday in Yenagoa during a thanksgiving ceremony to commemorate the new position, CP Orutugu maintained that the same passion he has used to serve the Nigeria police as a cadet officer is what he will also use now to work as the commissioner of police even more.
He said: I’m just giving thanks to God for helping me to attain the rank of Commissioner of Police. Nigeria has 774 Local Governments and it has less than 150 Commissioners of Police. That is to say, so many local governments don’t have Commissioner of Police but I’m from Brass Local Government and I’m a Commissioner of Police.
“I will still use the same passion to work as a commissioner just that the challenges and responsibilities have been expanded but the passion remains the same.
Narrating his journey to his success story, he said that he entered the Nigerian Police with one Degree and was serious all thorough adding that as at today, he has five Degrees and a PhD.
Advising that none should be underrated, he revealed thathe is highly underrated but disclosed that it has been his strength thanking God for giving him a sense of humility.
“I did not apply for a casual or study leave. However God provided people to help me. Whatever you do, remain focused. Don’t put money in front. If you put money in front, you will be blocked.
“I thank God for giving me a sense of humility. I have never lobbied in my carrier or met anybody to put me to any place but I tell you today among my ranks, I’m one of the most popular and most influential, most feared and most respected Commissioner of Police in this country not because I deserve it but because I have the grace of God.
Advising both parents and youths of today, he maintained that parents should not choose a carrier for their children. And for the youths, he said “I didn’t work across the road to pick my success. It was a very tortuous journey of being a Police Officer advising that youths of taoday should put in effort to excel.
Speaking earlier, the Commissioner of Police Bayelsa State, CP Alonyenu Francis Idu had said that Orutugu had the opportunity to train in both counter terrorism unit and in mobile police.
Revealing that CP Orutugu’s promotion was quite delayed, he disclosed that he would have been one of the commissioners of police in the country earlier before now adding “I believe that the hands of fortune will start playing for him now that he is the Commissioner of Police.
CP Idu said: “I was here during the days of economic agitation. I had cause to disturb him and begged him to help me understand his people and keep the place quiet. I believe that Ijaw Community is the one that will kick start operation restore my country because if this place is kept quiet, people will start asking how it is done.
“A lot of things we achieved here in Bayelsa State when it comes to Law and Order management, he is the one behind it, encouraging me on the way to go. As you march on to take your command, it is my prayer that this is the beginning of the peak of your carrier.
Also, in his remarks, His Royal Highness, Otonye Efebo, the Amadabo of Shidi- Ama in Brass Kingdom, stated that the new commissioner is an elder brother and a father figure to most of them adding that he was so proud that they have a man of his caliber amongst them
He prayed that the good Lord will continue to bless him and take him to the greater heights.
Feliks Sieri in his revealed that the new Police Commissioner opted for Police work instead of working in the bank stating that from the day he went to police, “I always call him Commissioner of Police even when he was DSP. And today, he is Commissioner of Police. I prophecy him as IG in waiting.”
