“It is essential to recognize that human capital working within any organization is pivotal to achieving its mandates. It is often emphasized that organizational success hinges on dedicated personnel.

“It is imperative to note that promotion doesn’t emanate from north, south, east nor west but from God and, however, usually comes along with a great responsibility which heightens the higher level of loyalty, courage, discipline, and professionalism particularly in the face of evolving and intricate challenges posed by modern-day crime,” Akinlade added.
