He also charged the beneficiaries of the newly constructed accommodation to ensure adequate maintenance of the facilities,

He equally urged the personnel to rededicate themselves to duties to ensure effective and efficient service delivery.

”Operation ZUMA and the just concluded KARAMIN GORO in addition to Special Joint Internal Security patrols, among others,” he said.
