CSP Okuwobi said that her efforts paid off after the Division wrote a letter to Grooming Center requesting for assistance and they responded promising to build and complete a storey building office complex in the available space inside the Division. She said following the positive response from Grooming Center, she thereafter engaged a building expert, who came up with a proposal of about N7.5m, which the company had accepted and commenced work by bringing the necessary building materials.

The CEO of Grooming Center, Mr. Nwabuka, said it was part of the company’s policy to contribute as corporate social responsibility in their area of operation and hence when the DPO wrote the letter requesting for such, the management had board meeting and approved the project. He reiterated the commitment of the company to continue to contribute in such projects in future as part of the social responsibility of the company.

The event was attended by  some residents, who commended the efforts of the DPO and the Police in the Division and other stakeholders including high chiefs from the palace of the Oba of Ejigbo Kingdom.
