The minister also assured him of a well-established Command which works in perfect synergy with other security agencies in the FCT.

Bello commended the outgoing Commandant Patrick Ukpan, for his commitment and dedication to duty.

“One of the achievements of Mr Ukpan was his commitment to the FCT Security Committee and almost all our interventions, be it a Task Force, in-house security meetings or other brainstorming security sessions he was always there.
