   The Vice Chancellor, Karl-Kumm University Vom, Professor Audu Nanven Gambo, has advocated for increased funding for the Nigeria Police Force to upscale the capacity of the institution and effectively play its constitutional role as lead agency for internal security operations.

  This came in a statement signed by the Protocol and Information Officer to the Vice Chancellor of Karl Kumm University Vom, Bulus Gambo and made available to newsmen in Jos, the Plateau State capital Friday.

  Prof Gambo who decried the current poor funding of the Police, noted that it has made it difficult for the Force to respond to the growing threats to internal security. 

  He stated this when the new Divisional Police Officer, Chief Superintendent of Police, Haruna Adamu, paid him a courtesy call in his office Vom, Jos-South Local Government Area of the State.

   The Vice Chancellor said, “the Nigeria Police Force is capable of combating the current security threats bedeviling the country if adequately funded and motivated.

  “Federal Government should be sensitive and responsive to the needs of the Police and other security agencies and not focus exclusively on the military alone”, he observed.

     Gambo, therefore, thanked the DPO for deeming it fit to pay him courtesy call and wished him well in the discharge of his functions.

   The DPO of Vom CSP Haruna Adamu, thanked the Vice Chancellor for showing uncommon interest in the security and peace of the country in general.

    He appealed to the VC and his Management Team to join hands with the Police for enhanced security of the University.

   “The attacks, which are purported to be in reaction to JETS’ decision to give an Honorary Doctorate award to Apostle Arome Osayi, JETS considers such publications to be unjust, unfair, and unchristian.

    “We maintain that the award of an Honorary Doctorate to Apostle Arome Osayi was done in accordance with our established traditions and due processes. Apostle Osayi’s contributions to social actions, advocacy, and church work make him a deserving recipient of the award”, it stated.

It’s more valuable to look where you’re going than to see where you’ve been. Don’t see your future only from yesterday’s perspective.

It’s too easy to quantify and qualify everything and limit the dream within you. You can’t walk backward into the future. Be bold and courageous, the past is past. Start innovating because the world may never go back the way it was before.

The Lord said “Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing……..”

Expect new things in your life, for expectation is the mother of manifestation! The Lord instructs.

GoodMorning and blessed Tuesday…..

Kindness is the only language the deaf can hear and the blind can see. Kindness and act of Giving is a duty to all human.

Religious gathering is not a place you make money or double money. Don’t get deceived. Religious gathering is a place of learning, teaching of God’s word and in breaking of bread.

Money is doubled in the business world and Not in religious gathering. Sow a seed of one thousand Naira to get Two thousand naira, is a criminal offence and a deceit and tantamount to Pulpit Banditary.

The Lord says; give as you purpose in your heart….. and in all you do show kindness. The Lord Leads.

GoodMorning. Have a Blessed Monday.
