Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi Saturday directed the 1,700-personnel brigade of the Forest Guards in the state and Neighbourhood Watch Associations to continue to collaborate with security agencies in providing adequate security in all the communities of the state.
This was in furtherance of the government’s effort to ensure adequate security of lives and property in the state during the festive period.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Information, Steve Oruruo, the governor made “a clarion call to the people of the state and all road users to appreciate the tremendous sacrifices and concerted effort of the security agencies towards curbing the menace of heightening insecurity within the South East.
The statement added, “The state government empathises with the populace for the excruciating pains, predictable delays and the overall suffering occasioned by the increased number of security checkpoints.”
“It is evident that the collective benefits of the security checks by far outweigh whatever temporary inconvenience we may experience.”
