He also appealed for “some levels of empowerment to alleviate the challenges faced by young officers after passing out including accommodation, mobility and logistics.”

While thanking the Speaker for his support and encouragement, ASP Etim said “a push to assist more Akwa Ibom indigenes gain admission into the Academy will also be highly valued knowing that in the near future; we are the breed of officers that will take charged.”
