The Nigerian Association of Social and Resourceful Editors (NASRE) has congratulated Chief Superintendent of Police Benjamin Hundeyin and Superintendent of Police Abimbola Adebisi on their respective appointments as the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO) and Lagos State Police Command Public Relations Officer.
In a statement signed by its President, Comrade Femi Oyewale, and made available to newsmen, the association described both officers as seasoned professionals whose appointments would further strengthen police–public engagement and enhance the image of the Nigeria Police Force.
Oyewale urged the newly appointed spokespersons to see their positions as an opportunity to deepen citizens’ confidence in the police and foster stronger collaboration with the media.
“The leadership of NASRE congratulate CSP Benjamin Hundeyin on his elevation as the Force PRO and SP Abimbola Adebisi on her new role as Lagos Command PRO. These appointments are well deserved, given their track records. We, however, urge them to get closer to citizens and the press to bridge existing gaps and build trust between the Force and the people,” the statement read.
The editors’ body noted that NASRE had enjoyed a cordial working relationship with Hundeyin during his tenure as Lagos Command PRO and expressed readiness to extend the same hand of partnership to his successor, Adebisi.
“NASRE is still available to work hand in hand with the new Lagos spokesperson, SP Adebisi, as we did with Benjamin Hundeyin when he occupied the position in Lagos. We are also committed to supporting Benjamin in his new capacity at the Force Headquarters. Our collective goal remains to strengthen the synergy between the police and the citizens through effective communication and constructive engagement,” the statement added.
NASRE reaffirmed its members’ commitment to using their respective platforms to promote transparency, accountability, and mutual understanding between the police and the Nigerian public.
