Umahi Celebrates Liman Audu’s Promotion to DSP, Pledges Better Welfare for Works Ministry Staff
The Minister of Works, Senator Dave Umahi, has celebrated the promotion of Mr. Liman Audu from Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) to Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), describing his elevation as recognition of his dedication and service.
Umahi formally decorated Audu with his new rank on November 12, 2026, during a ceremony held at the Minister’s Office in Abuja.
The event also provided an opportunity for the Minister to reaffirm his administration’s commitment to the welfare of personnel working in the Federal Ministry of Works, including security officers and their families.
Umahi described members of the Ministry as one family, stressing that their welfare and that of their dependants would continue to receive priority attention.
He maintained that nobody working under the Ministry should be left without the means to provide basic necessities for their families, particularly food and education for their children.
According to the Minister, public office is a divine responsibility that requires integrity, humility, accountability and the fear of God.
He noted that true leadership should be measured by its positive impact on humanity, adding that delivering quality infrastructure, ensuring roads are motorable and improving citizens’ living conditions are essential responsibilities of public servants.
The Minister also appreciated security agencies and other members of staff for their loyalty and cooperation, assuring them of his continued recognition and support.
He further offered prayers for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration and the successful repositioning of the country.
Responding, Audu expressed appreciation to Umahi for what he described as his fatherly disposition, generosity and unwavering concern for the welfare of security personnel.
He said the Minister’s leadership had brought renewed hope, dignity and a sense of belonging to security officers and their families since he assumed office.
Audu particularly praised Umahi for recognising that workers’ welfare extends beyond the workplace to include their families and dependants.
He assured the Minister of the continued loyalty, prayers and support of security personnel, declaring: “Baba, taka lafiya, Allah zai kasance tare da kai,” which translates to “Father, go safely; may God be with you.”
The ceremony concluded with prayers and goodwill messages for Audu, Umahi and the entire workforce of the Ministry.
The Federal Ministry of Works congratulated DSP Liman Audu on his promotion and wished him continued success and greater accomplishments in his career.
