Ebonyi govt to partner with security agencies ahead of 2019 election
www.odogwublog.com Nnamdi Ene in Abakaliki reports that as 2019 general draws near, Ebonyi state government
yesterday reaffirmed it commitments to partner with security agencies in
the state to protect government properties.
The Senior Special Adviser to Governor David Umahi on
infrastructural maintenance, Chief Ali Odefa made the statement while
addressing the men and women of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense
Corps and other security operatives during in a courtesy visit to the
Command in Abakaliki, Ebonyi state.
He noted that the partnership is very important as it will
help the state government in preventing and arresting those hoodlums who
are destroying and chartering away properties of the government on
daily basis.
He said: "I wish to appreciate the state commandant of the
NSCDC who since her arrival in Ebonyi state has been cooperating with
the state government. The way she has been relating with the people of
the state is cordial and there was no clash or fight between the command
and the people.
"Since she came to Ebonyi, the command has witnessed a
tremendous infrastructural development. My boss (the governor) has
regard for NSCDC and would like to continue partnering with the agency.
"The officers and men of NSCDC are recommended in every
sector because of the way they discharge their duty. You hardly would
hear that an officer of this corps is fighting with the civilian. You
hardly would hear that there is accidental discharge from officers of
this corps. Before you find officer of this corps reacting, you will
know that he/she has been pushed to the wall.
"You know this days, because of the global security
challenges which is not peculiar to Nigeria so also Ebonyi state. There
are security challenges when you have workers working in the field.
"We invite the corps to partner with us not only in state
building but also in nation building. Any society or country that is
planning to move forward must not joke with issue of security.
"It is only where there is security that foreign investors
will come to invest. It is only where there is security that democracy
can thrive. It is only where there is security that the youths can grow
to become good leaders tomorrow.
"Let me use this opportunity to inform this command that
the government need more of your armed men in our sites and offices to
protect our properties".
Responding, the commandant Mrs Chinwe Kannu assured the
state government of the readiness of NSCDC to arrest all hoodlums that
are destroying and chartering away government properties.
"Umahi is the best performing governor in the south east. I
promise that our agency will continue to improve and partner with the
state government. Ebonyi must be crime free. I came to Ebonyi with the
mission to catch all the culprits" she stated.
