The Ologbo Police Station in Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Area of Edo State got a facelift as Asharami Energy, a subsidiary of Sahara Group, completed the renovation of the facility to meet modern policing demands.

Speaking at the commissioning and handover ceremony on Friday, the Director, Sahara Group Foundation, Ejiro Gray, said the station, which went through a transformative makeover was a reflection of Asharami Energy’s dedication to enhancing public safety and supporting the welfare of the communities in which they operate.

Gray said, “The newly commissioned Ologbo police station involved a comprehensive overhaul of the police station’s infrastructure. Renovation work done included structural repairs and aesthetical changes to the building, plumbing works and change of sanitary wares. A new office block/building for investigative officers was also constructed, as well as the installation of a solar energy system.”

Also, the stakeholder and community relations manager, Asharami Energy, Babatomiwa Adesida, said, “Asharami Energy recognises the critical role law enforcement plays in maintaining peace and security within our communities. The renovation of the Ologbo Police Station underscores the organisation’s values of sustainable development, community empowerment and social impact.”

The Enogie of Ologbo, Owenubugie Akenzua, applauded Asharami Energy and Sahara Group Foundation for the project, noting, “a secure community is the foundation for progress and that the renovation of the Ologbo Police Station will support improved security and peace in the Dukedom.”

The Deputy Police Commissioner, Moses Nkombe, said, “This will go a long way to enhance operational efficiency and enable the officers to better serve and protect the communities under the station command.”
