The Anambra State Commissioner of Police (CP), Ikioye Orutugu, has lauded the Rector of the Federal Polytechnic, Oko, Dr. Chioma Irene Awuzie, for her exceptional leadership in maintaining a secure and peaceful academic environment.

During a courtesy visit to the Rector’s office on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, the CP expressed his admiration for the institution’s rich history and its role in producing prominent national figures.

In her response, Dr. Chioma Awuzie expressed profound gratitude for the CP’s impact on the state's safety. "Before you came on board, we hardly slept with our eyes closed," she remarked, "but now we can sleep with our eyes closed. Kudos to you."

She reaffirmed the management's commitment to continued cooperation with the Nigerian Police Force to sustain the prevailing harmony on campus.

The visit, which coincided with a program organized by the National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS), was attended by the Polytechnic’s management team and the Student Union Government (SUG) executives.
