ABUJA – In a historic move, the Edo State Police Command on Monday welcomed ASP Eno Ikoedem as its first female Public Relations Officer (PRO).
Her appointment marks a significant milestone for policing and public engagement in the state.
The Administrative Officer of the Police Public Relations Unit, ASP Emmanuel Nyokema, confirmed the development in a statement on Monday. “Until her appointment, Ikoedem served as Deputy PRO to two consecutive spokespersons,” he said.
Nyokema noted that her substantive appointment followed approval by the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Kayode Egbetokun. “She is the first female officer to be appointed PRO for the command and resumed duty on Monday,” the statement added.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ikoedem is a graduate of the Nigeria Police Academy, where she completed a five-year training programme and earned a Bachelor’s degree in English. She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree at the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN).
Nyokema highlighted her extensive professional experience, saying, “Her academic and professional grounding places her in a strong position to advance communication strategy. She also served in a range of operational and administrative roles across divisions in the state.”
He encouraged residents seeking clarification, support, or information from the police to reach her directly through the official communication channels provided by the command. ASP Eno Ikoedem will be taking over from Moses Yamu.
