Chairman Building Committee watching
Pastor Peters Osawaru Omoragbon, the President of Nurses Across the Borders International and a former Governorship Candidate in Edo State, has disclosed that the new N54million modern Divisional Police Station being built at Budo Nuhu in Kwara State was aimed at encouraging, changing the mindset and boosting the morale of the police officers.
Omoragbon made the claim as the chairman of the launching and foundation
laying ceremony of N54million modern Divisional Police Station and Purchasing
of Operational Vehicle in Budo Nuhu, Kwara State. He added that he would use
his international connections to ensure that the station is equipped with
modern security gadgets.
The event which took place on Friday, December 22 at GDSS, Obanisunwa,
Airport Road, Egbejila, Kwara State was graced by the Royal Father, HRM (Dr)
Alhaji Ibrahim Zulu Gambari, Emir of Ilorin and Mallam Abdulrasaq Abdulraman,
the Executive Governor of Kwara State, all represented; under the distinguished
chairmanship of Pastor Peters Osawaru Omoragbon.
Also in attendance was the Commissioner of Police, Kwara State, Mr Victor
Olaifa, who was represented by his Deputy, Mr Abdulraheem Nurudeen.
According to Omoragbon, Budu Nuhu police station is like a one room
apartment, saying it was difficult for the police to work effectively and
optimally under such condition. “Budu Nuhu Police Station is like a one room
apartment and you expect that station to take care of more than 20 communities;
that is an aberration. So that is why this project is going to start today, and
it must be completed.”
He encouraged the people to contribute in whatever way they can to
ensure that the station is completed at record time. “So what I want to beg all
of you whatever you have, contribute, if you don’t have money, there are people
you know, take the letters to them to contribute. I have told a lot of my
friends about this project, we need the account details of the PCRC; they too
should make donations to that account and show us evidence of proof for
accountability.
“If you cannot give cash, you can give us a bag of cement, you can buy
us blocks, you can buy us one tipper of sand, or you can join hand and say let
us complete this project. The communities, 54 communities, if this place is not
peaceful to live in, you can’t stay here. I have not only come to stay here,
but within three years I have started doing fish farming, and I make a lot of
money from it. So the place is productive, that is why we want to join hand
together today to make sure that this project is done,” Omoragbon
disclosed.
He assured the police command that the project which must be completed in
record time would be made a model to other stations in Kwara State. “We are
going to make it a model to other police stations in Kwara State; we are going
to provide it with all the security gadgets, I will make sure I use my influence
abroad to make sure that our members provide such facilities .”
Omoragbon also brought hope to the people as he promised to use his
influence to support the community health project. “I am a nurse by profession,
and God has blessed me with the profession, so I am going to use my influence
to support the community health project, the reason being that this is the only
state I have invested in more than any other state. That is the truth.”
The construction of the police station which was conceptualized by the Police
Community Relations Committee (PCPC) Budo Nuhu Division, Alapa Area Command, Kwara
State, in collaboration with the Magajis, Chairmen, Secretaries, and
communities of Budo Nuhu, was necessitated by the dilapidated condition of the
existing police post in the area.
Omoragbon who spoke through a Yoruba Interpreter said his heart was
filled with joy. “My heart is filled with joy that the event is taking place, I
am not from Kwara State, I am from Edo State, My first time in Kwara was in
2020, when I came to take delivery of the house I built here; when I came to see the building, I fell
in love with the place. I told my wife,
that whenever we want to have holiday we should always come to Kwara State. Yes
we have properties in Lagos State, also in my place in Edo State, but since
2020, every time I come home, I spend a few days in Lagos, and spend the rest
in Kwara State. I love Kwara State, the people are friendly.”
“So when I came I discovered there are so many things the community
needs and I joined myself in the community, Tewure Community, so I attend their
meeting every Sunday, they discuss lots of issues, and I have been supporting
them, by the grace of God.”
