SP Irene Ugbo has been adjudged by some to being the longest serving Cross River PPRO after working under 10 CPs in same capacity.
She has been PPRO under:
CP Jimoh Ozi-Obeh
CP Hafiz Inuwa
CP Gabriel Agbonlahor
CP Nkereuwum Akpan
CP Uche Anozie
CP Abdulkadir Jimoh (Late)
CP Sikiru Akande
CP Alhassan Aminu
CP Sule Balarabe, and
CP Augustine Grimah.
A journalist Agba Jalingo, CP Ozi-Obeh worked initially with ASP John Eluu before appointing ASP (at the time) Irene Ugbo as Police Public Relations Officer. He added that since then, she has had an uninterrupted tenure as the Spokesperson of the Cross River State Police command. He also asked if the feat by Ugbo is ‘due to competence, Police rules or other factors?’
Jalingo’s comment was a thread on Facebook. The thread has inspired other reactions. Some have said she is competent, others have traced her longevity to other factors.
