In a moment of immense pride for Benue State, Cadet ASP Alakali Tahav Solomon has been named the overall best graduating cadet of the Nigerian Police Academy (POLAC), Wudil, Kano, with an outstanding CGPA of 4.79 in Physics.
The brilliant young officer will tomorrow, 29th November 2025, receive his insignia and awards during the Presidential Commissioning and Passing Out Parade of Regular Course 5 cadets, an event that will be graced by top government officials and security chiefs.
Alakali Tahav Solomon’s exceptional academic performance has placed him at the very top of his set, earning him the coveted position of parade commander and the recipient of the Sword of Honour as the best all-round graduating cadet.
The Benue State-born physicist-turned-police officer has been widely celebrated across the state, with many describing his achievement as proof of the intellectual depth and discipline the state continues to contribute to national institutions.
His success comes barely weeks after other sons and daughters of the state recorded landmark feats in various fields, further reinforcing Benue’s growing reputation as a breeding ground for excellence.
As the nation prepares to commission another batch of highly trained officers into the Nigeria Police Force, Alakali Tahav Solomon stands tall as a shining example of what focus, determination, and quality education can produce.
The entire Benue community, from Makurdi to the hinterlands, joins in congratulating Cadet ASP Alakali Tahav Solomon on this historic accomplishment. Tomorrow, the state will watch with pride as one of its own leads the parade and receives national recognition for outstanding merit.
Well done, officer. The Food Basket salutes you!
