From healthcare and economic empowerment to education and social inclusion, the Police Officers’ Wives Association (POWA) has been steadily redefining welfare for police families under the leadership of its 23rd National President, Chief Mrs. Olufunmilola Mutiat Disu. By fulfilling a promise made months earlier to winners of the POWA CARES Ballot Draw, Chiemelie Ezeobi writes that beyond the numbers and interventions lies an equally powerful lesson in leadership, one that values integrity as much as impact
Integrity is often measured not by the promises people make but by the promises they keep. In an era where public commitments are sometimes forgotten as quickly as they are announced, the Police Officers’ Wives Association (POWA) recently demonstrated that integrity still matters.
What began as a simple pledge during the POWA CARES Initiative Outreach in Lagos on April 29, 2026, culminated in an unforgettable evening of celebration as winners of the POWA CARES Ballot Draw enjoyed an exclusive dinner hosted by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Olatunji Rilwan Disu, and the 23rd National President of POWA, Chief Mrs. Olufunmilola Mutiat Disu, last weekend.
For the four lucky winners, it was more than a prize. It was proof that a promise made was indeed a promise honoured.
