DIG Argungu who was represented at the 4th Posthumous Memorial and 3rd Impact and Legacy Annual Lecture series in honour of Chukwuma by DIG Taiwo Lakanu, rtd,fdc, Honourable Commissioner representing the Police in the Police Service Commission said as Chairman of the Commission ” I am reminded daily of Innocents contributions.

According to the PSC Chairman, ” His advocacy for Police reform, Community-centered policing and human rights continues to guide our efforts to build a professional, transparent and people -first Police Service.

He said Chukwuma “taught us that reform is not merely about Policies but about people – Officers who serve with integrity and citizens who demand accountability “

The PSC Chair noted that the late Chukwuma’s legacy “compels us to ask: how do we honour such a life? By ensuring his ideals outlive him”

“We honour him by bridging gaps between communities and law enforcement, by amplifying marginalised voices and by relentlessly pursuing a Nigeria which justice is not a privilege but a right”.

DIG Argungu assured CLEEN FOUNDATION and Innocent Chukwuma Empowerment Foundation that the partnership in this mission will be invaluable adding “let us continue to walk the path Innocent charted, turning his vision into action”.

He challenged the attendees at the Annual Lecture series to “leave here today inspired to make the “personal” Political in our spheres – to lead with courage, empathy and an unyielding commitment to the common good”

DIG Argungu noted that he is convinced that the memory of Innocent Chukwuemeka Chukwuma “will continue to inspire us to sustain the good causes he championed”

He said Chukwuma’s life was a masterclass in the power of conviction. “He embodied the truth that the ‘personal is political’ – that individual passion, when aligned with purpose can ignite systemic change”.

The PSC said his work with CLEEN FOUNDATION redefined the relationship between citizens and law enforcement, proving that trust and collaboration, not fear or force, are the bedrock of effective policing.

According DIG Argungu, Chukwuma ” challenged us to see security not as the exclusive domain of Institutions but as a shared responsibility between the people and those sworn to protect them.

The Annual lecture was organised by CLEEN FOUNDATION and the Innocent Chukwuemeka Chukwuma Empowerment Foundation.
