H.E, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi. Gov. Enugu State. |
The
Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC) and retired Inspector General
of Police, Mr Musiliu Smith has said the sustained investment in security by
the Government of Enugu State under the headship of His Excellency, Governor
Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is one of the reasons the state has become one of the most
peaceful states in the country.
Smith,
who was represented by the member representing the South South region in the
PSC, Austine Braimoh, said no government that desires to leave a lasting legacy
in the lives and businesses of its people can afford to take the issue of
security for granted, adding that what Governor Ugwuanyi has achieved in Enugu
through seamless cooperation and support to the police and other security
operatives in the state is an example worthy of replicating by leaders across
the country.
“Your
investments in security are not in vain. It is evident that these investments
have led to what have noted as the significant drop in criminal activities in
Enugu State. We have been to a few places around the state and have seen the
commendable signposts of achievement that are credited to your leadership,” he
said.
While
stating that the newly inaugurated Police Service Commission was determined to
work towards a refocused and reinvigorated Nigeria Police, he also said the
commission has concluded plans to establish regional operational offices across
the country to improves connectivity between the public and the Commission
while also facilitating public complaints and speeding up the resolution of
issues resulting relating to the promotion of officers.
He
also pleaded with the Governor to continue to provide support to the security
operatives, especially in the provision and discipline of officers and men.
In
his response, Governor Ugwyuanyi thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for
inaugurating the new board of the Commission, saying it is a demonstration of
the commitment of the Nigerian government under his watch, to make the security
of life and property, a major national priority.
The
Governor restated the commitment of his administration to the sustenance of
peace and security in the state and expressed his willingness to continue to
support and partner with the security operatives to make this a going
possibility.
Since
the coming into power of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi in 2015, Enugu State has
continually ranked very high on all metrics for most secure places in the
country, a development that has drawn plaudits from various levels of
leadership across the country.
