Philanthropist Promotes Police Hygiene With Toilets Donation
The efforts of Nigerian Police Force aimed at promoting hygiene got a major boost with the donation of a block of toilets and bathrooms by the Chairman of Mellos Group of companies, Mr. Abimbola Ayo-Yusuf to the Bode Thomas Police Station located at Surulere in Lagos state.
Mr. Yusuf said he made the donation to promote hygiene at the Police Station and bring comfort to both officers and inmates of the facility. According to him, he decided to make the donation to curtail the incessant acts of inmates who he said defecate in a nearby canal.
"I am always moved any time I visit this police station and see officers looking for where to freshen up," he said.
He therefore enjoined other well meaning Nigerians to contribute their own quota in helping the government and its agencies to ensure that public officers such as policemen are able to go about their duties with ease because this he said will promote efficiency.
The event was also attended by the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, Honorable representing Surulere Constituency I. He said job efficiency is connected to the nature of the working environment and its hygiene status.
"If the men of the Police were comfortable, they would be happy to discharge their duties to the best of their abilities and the country would be better off," the legislator said.
