Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti has commended the past service commanders who served in the state for good services rendered to ensure security of lives and property in the State.
Governor Alex Otti gave the commendation on Friday, June 20th at the Banquet Hall of Government House, Umuahia during a send-forth ceremony organised by the state government for 5 out-gone service commanders who served in Abia State.
“I want to use this opportunity to thank you so much for the service that you rendered to our State.
“It is also an opportunity to thank the current service commanders for carrying on from where you left the battle.
Governor Alex Otti said that hosting out-gone service commanders has become a tradition of his administration and assured them that Abia State is still their home.
“This is a tradition we have established in this State. That, if our service commanders who have served for not less than a year are leaving, we celebrate them. And, we give them small parting gifts to remember when they were here (in Abia).
“And like the commander of the Nigerian Navy said, it is also a way of encouraging those who are serving to put in their best. Knowing fully well that one day, it will be their turn.
“So, I would like to tell the out-gone service commanders that you have a home here in Abia. You can always come anytime to visit us,” Gov. Otti assured.
The Governor said that based on the cooperation and support of the service commanders, the State was able to cage insecurity and criminal activities.
“That, we were able to cage insecurity, kidnapping, armed robbery, banditry, just name it, is because of you.
“And we were very deliberate about it. These are fine gentlemen who are properly trained,” Gov. Otti stated.
In their responses, some of the celebrants, including Brigadier General O.O Diya of the Nigerian Army, Navy Captain O. A. Eyitayo of the Nigerian Navy, Dr. Shelema Muhammed Soso of the DSS and Chidi Nnadi of the NDLEA expressed gratitude to Governor Alex Otti for the honour done them and said that, it would encourage the service commanders serving currently in Abia State.
