‘Youths obey the clarion call’ opens the acclaimed NYSC anthem which has been sung since 1984 when it was composed by the late Oluwole Adetiran. Since then, the song has spurred Corps members to great feats in various spheres of influence during the mandatory 1-year of service to the country.
It is this same clarion call that the Deputy Commissioner of Police, DC Operations, Enugu State Command, DCP Olasoji Olasunkanmi Akinbayo obeyed, not to wear the white and green khaki, but to give back a landmark support that will make lives better for those who are currently wearing the white and green khaki in Enugu State. This is by the renovation of the female Police and NSCDC hostel within the NYSC orientation camp, Awgu, Enugu State which is in a terrible state of disrepair and dilapidation. The hostel houses Police and Civil Defence officers who provide safety and security for Corp members who stay in the Awgu orientation camp for their 21-day orientation programme, National Association of Online Security News Publishers, NAOSNP can report.
Having received a courtesy visit of the new State Coordinator, NYSC Enugu State, Mrs. Oluwakemi Awolola during which he was intimated of the bad shape of the orientation camp, the humanitarian DCP Olasoji Akinbayo moved by his milk of kindness embarked on the renovation of the female Police and NSCDC hostel in the Awgu camp. He carried out the renovation in order to contribute his quota to the renovation of the camp. The Police and Civil defence officers’ building is now properly floored with tiles, furnished with beds, doors and windows fixed, other house fittings in place, and burglary placed round the facility.
During his official handover of the keys to the NYSC State Coordinator, Mrs. Awolola expressed gratitude on behalf of the entire NYSC and particularly, the beneficiaries who are female Police and NSCDC officers even as she expressed delight at the development. The female Police and civil defence officers were very enthusiastic and sang the praises of the humanitarian disposition of DCP Akinbayo Olasoji Olasunkanmi.
In her statement, the State Coordinator, NYSC Enugu State, Mrs Oluwakemi Awolola thanked DCP Olasoji Akinbayo and used the opportunity to call on stakeholders and other philanthropists to join in the development of NYSC orientation camp for the comfort of corps members and officials.
This is not the first time that DCP Olasoji Akinbayo would be involved in gestures which bring facelift to infrastructure in and around where he works. NAOSNP recalled that DCP Olasoji Akinbayo did great works in every Division, Area and Command that he has served. This includes Ikeja, Apapa, Mushin, among other places.
Further, in 2015, the incorruptible officer, Olasoji held firm to his integrity as he refused a bribe of NGN 21 million and USD 12,900 offered him to allow a criminal escape arrest. This faithful act was then hailed by the national body of the Nigerian Bar Association in a commendation letter.
The recent winner of TheMediaGood Newspaper Defender of the Faith (TNDFA) Award, DCP Olasoji Akinbayo Olasunkanmi is a firm believer that he must leave everywhere he touches better than it was met. He is a resourceful, upright, and eminent Christian in the marketplace.
Alongside his personal effort, the relentless crime fighter and intelligent gentleman supercop, DCP Olasoji Akinbayo continues to demonstrate firm stance to the policing mandate as championed by the resourceful Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun. He ensures that Enugu State Police Command is free from acts of criminality while the highest level of law and order is upheld.
