The Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), Edo State branch, has commended Governor Monday Okpebholo for his renewed investment in the state’s health sector, describing it as a major boost for healthcare delivery.  In a statement signed by its Chairman, Dr. Eustace Oseghale, and made available to journalists in Benin City on Friday, the Association expressed excitement over the planned establishment of a modern Paediatric Centre at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH).  Dr. Oseghale noted that the project, valued at ₦2.5 billion, would significantly improve child healthcare services in Edo State and beyond, given UBTH’s wide catchment area that serves over eight states.

This initiative will greatly enhance child care services in Edo State and beyond,” Dr. Oseghale stated.  He added: “We also applaud the planned renovation of the Resident Doctors’ Quarters in Ezoti, Benin City, and the payment of the Medical Residency Training Fund for our members in the Association of Resident Doctors.”  While congratulating Governor Okpebholo on his 55th birthday, the NMA chairman prayed for long life, good health, and greater wisdom for him to continue delivering quality service to Edo people and Nigeria at large.

Born on June 21, 1956, in Owan West Local Government Area of Edo State, Arase had an illustrious academic and professional career. He studied Political Science at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, obtained a Law degree from the University of Benin, a Master’s degree in Law from the University of Lagos, and capped it with a Ph.D. in Public Law from Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma.

Arase joined the Nigeria Police Force on December 1, 1981, and rose through the ranks to serve in various strategic positions, including Principal Staff Officer to three IGPs between 2002 and 2008, Commissioner of Police in Akwa Ibom State, pioneer Assistant Inspector-General in charge of the Force Intelligence Bureau (FIB), and Deputy Inspector-General of Police, FCID. He was appointed the 18th Inspector-General of Police in April 2015 and retired on June 21, 2016.

In January 2023, former President Muhammadu Buhari appointed him Chairman of the Police Service Commission, a role he held until June 2024. A Fellow of the Defence College and a member of the Body of Benchers, Arase was widely respected for his reforms in policing, including the establishment of the Complaint Response Unit to strengthen public trust and uphold citizens’ rights.

Beyond policing, he promoted education through the Solomon Ehigiator Arase Foundation (SEAF), which awarded scholarships to children of deceased police officers and other indigent students.

On Sunday, IGP Egbetokun paid a condolence visit to the Arase family in Abuja, where he described the late police chief as “a reformer, a patriot, and a leader who left indelible marks on national security and police professionalism.”

The Nigeria Police Force said the memory of late IGP Solomon Arase “will forever remain etched in the heart of the Force and the nation he served with pride and honour.”
