Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State on Tuesday tasked police officers to rebrand the force.
Tambuwal made the call while receiving newly commissioned Police Officers who are indigenes of the state in Sokoto.
He asked the 36 officers, made up of 17 Assistant Superintendents of Police (ASPs) and 19 Inspectors, to be good ambassadors.
While commending the officers for accepting to serve as law enforcement agents, Tambuwal also enjoined them to play their part in changing the negative impression created about the police.
“By agreeing to dedicate your lives to protect us, you have continued in the tradition of your forefathers from this state who have served this nation diligently.
“I urge you to refuse to be infected by anything denting the image of the Police.
“The entire Police structure is undergoing re-branding as such, I want you to play your part well in enhancing the image,” he charged.
