It's impressive he served since 1992, but I wonder how much real change he influenced versus maintaining the status quo.

While honoring his career, shouldn't we also question why leadership hasn't yet addressed systemic issues he encountered over thirty years?

Maybe the police force can start mentorship programs inspired by AIG Uzuegbu to guide juniors and strengthen institutional values.
