Umahi was presented with a plaque by the IGP on Saturday.
The Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIG), South East zone, Valentine Ntomchukwu, presented the award to the governor on behalf of the IGP during a courtesy call at the Government House, Abakaliki.
Addressing Governor Umahi before presenting the award to him, Ntomchukwu said “the IGP has asked me to tell you that you are the most police friendly governor in Nigeria and I am not saying it because I am in Ebonyi State. It is because of what I have seen which you have done for the state police command.
“Honestly, on arrival at the police command, I saw street lights and other things I have never seen in other police command and when I asked they said the governor did those things for the command. I can see houses for policemen of rank and file and I can see storey buildings also built by the governor for the command.
“I also want to thank you for the communication equipments which you provided for the command and the ongoing renovation of the perimeter fencing and security post of the command which has lifted the status of the command.”
“I hereby on behalf of the Inspector-General of Police present this plaque to you. Sir, find anywhere in your office and place this plaque so that any time you turn around, you will look at it as a mark of honour and appreciation of your support to the police.”
Umahi commended the IGP for the honour and promised to do more for the state police command.
