The University of Abuja has honoured Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Adedeji Akeem, the Force Procurement Officer, for his outstanding contributions to academia through five years of voluntary lectures delivered at no cost to the institution.
The recognition ceremony took place at the Sultan Maccido Institute for Leadership, Peace and Development of the University, where DCP Akeem was celebrated alongside other distinguished honourees for their service to humanity.
According to the Acting Vice-Chancellor, Professor Mathew Adamu, DCP Akeem’s unwavering dedication exemplifies patriotism and selfless service.
“Giving back to society in such an intangible but invaluable way is a lesson for all Nigerians,” the Vice-Chancellor said.
He emphasized that contributions like these cannot be measured in monetary terms but carry “enormous value for national development.”
Responding to the honour, DCP Akeem expressed gratitude to the University for the recognition, reaffirmed his commitment to public service, and donated copies of his authored books to support the institution’s academic programmes.
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, praised DCP Akeem’s gesture, describing it as an inspiring model of integrity and dedication.
“Officers and men of the Force must emulate this shining example by embracing professionalism, discipline, and excellence in service,” the IGP charged.
