He said he has succeeded in building an enduring synergy and mutual working relationship between the two organisations in the interest of national security.
Dr. Arase called on Nigerians to own their Police Force, support and show them love adding that this is the only way the Officers and men can give their best to the service of their fatherland.
He thanked his guest for accepting to attend the launch of the Police Veterans foundation.
The Police Veterans Foundation was conceptualised from the need to create a veritable platform for galvanising support for the welfare of retired Police Officers, most of whom are faced with debilitating health and financial challenges after retirement.
To achieve its objectives, it aims to raise awareness, mobilize support and establish a fund for the improved welfare of retired Police Officers.
