Be honest, Ogun CP tells real estate firms

The Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu, has encouraged real estate firms to protect their integrity and fulfil the promises they made to Nigerians through their several adverts and jingles on the radio.

He stated this recently when he received the Chief Executive Officer of Pelican Valley Estate, Babatunde Adeyemo and his team at his office shortly after the Ramadan lecture held at the state police command headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta.

Alamutu urged the property merchants to emulate Adeyemo, whom he described as “a dependable and reliable personality, pursuing his real estate business with so much integrity and patriotism”.

According to the Ogun CP, people like Adeyemo, who are doing their best to build a better Nigeria and supporting the security agents to fight crimes, would remain good allies of the state police command.

Alamutu lauded Adeyemo for embarking on meaningful initiatives to impact its host communities, assuring him of the police’s support in the areas of security so that the real estate business could continue to thrive.

“Your integrity is not in doubt; you have a reliable personality. It is good if others can take a cue from you. You have been up and doing and fulfilling your corporate social responsibility. We will give you all of the necessary support for your business and that of others to keep striving in the state.

“You have been a dependable ally of the police and on our part, we take note of it that you have been supportive of the command,” Alamutu noted.

Earlier, Adeyemo intimated the CP on the level of work progress going on in all his estates, especially the Pelican Ecostay Apartments and the installation of industrial solar lights in the estate and link roads to host communities ahead of the September inauguration of the projects.

Speaking during the Ramadan lecture, Dr Salaudeen Munirudeen from Lagos State University of Education, Ijanikin, linked the current economic downturn and the attendant hardship to individuals to corruption, cheating, wastefulness and indiscipline among Nigerians.

Munirudeen spoke on ‘’Islamic Way of Reviving the Economy of Our Country, Nigeria’’ which was organised by the Muslim faithful from the state police command.

He said that Allah abhors cheating, mischief and corruption, stressing that where citizens engage in corruption and cheat one another, He would permit hardship, famine and suffering upon such a country in such a way that even the best efforts of the leaders would be of no effect in solving the problems.

He urged citizens to pray for the country and their leaders for God’s intervention and mercy, even as he called on them to shun cheating, wastefulness, indiscipline and corruption so that the recovery process for the economy could begin in earnest.
