“For this morning, we are out here to keep Enugu City clean and, also, encourage residents and the state government to sustain the positive habit of maintaining a clean and neat environment that promotes good health.
“We have covered most parts of the Old Park, including the market and bus stop areas, and only evacuated very little refuse, unlike other cities where heaps of waste occupy public spaces,” he said.
Giwa urged residents to take advantage of the ongoing comprehensive medical outreach and free medical consultations at the Police Hospital located at the state police headquarters.
He said the week-long activities for the Nation Police Day 2026 in Enugu would include a walkathon within the metropolis, while area commanders would conduct similar exercises today. The commissioner of police added that the command would, tomorrow, embark on public sensitisation campaigns on electoral violence, ballot snatching, and other related offenses. He said that on Thursday, cheques would be presented to the families of deceased police personnel.
The commissioner of police added that the grand finale was scheduled for April 7, at the Eagle Square, Abuja, and would feature a ceremonial parade and procession.
