Against the backdrop of un-articulate mission or reasons for being in a profession, which studies show is chiefly the cause of failures identified with some professionals in virtually all fields, it is instructive to state that Ahmed Iliyasu, a Commissioner of Police CP, knew what he wanted when he chose a career in the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) in 1988, and clearly defined his mission as service to humanity with utmost humility and integrity, not leaving out upholding the rights of the people and rule of law.
