Kano State Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Bakori, has recognised Hajia Hajara Abdullahi for her contribution to policing after she renovated and equipped the Gwale Police Division in the state capital.
Abdullahi, a resident of Diso Quarters in Gwale Local Government Area, received a letter of appreciation from the police commissioner on Monday for the intervention.
The command’s spokesman, CSP Abdullahi Haruna, announced the development in a statement on Tuesday.
“The gesture by Hajiya Hajara represents a significant contribution to community security. She has consistently supported various Police Divisions across the State with material and moral assistance aimed at improving the operational environment for officers and enhancing service delivery to the public,” the statement partly read.
Bakori, while presenting the letter at the command headquarters, described the philanthropist as a valuable ally in the fight against crime.
He said Abdullahi’s consistent efforts towards improving the welfare and security of people in her community showed a strong sense of civic duty.
The commissioner also prayed for God’s continued blessings on her and commended her investment in the security and peace of Kano State.
“Such acts of generosity directly impact crime prevention, officer morale, and public confidence in the police,” the commissioner added.
Also speaking, the Special Adviser on Community Policing, Hajiya Maimuna Umar Sheriff, described Abdullahi’s gesture as an example others should follow.
She said citizens had an important role to play in supporting security agencies and complementing government efforts.
Sheriff therefore encouraged wealthy individuals, businesses and community leaders to contribute towards strengthening security infrastructure and making Kano safer.
“Sustainable security can only be achieved through collaboration between government, security agencies and the community,” she added.
