Enugu State Governor, Dr. Peter Mbah, has disclosed that the success behind the state’s enduring and sustainable peace and security is as a result of the deliberate zero tolerance policy of the administration against criminality, saying insecurity in any form was being systematically eradicated.
The governor stated this when he received the new General Officer Commanding (GOC) 82 Division, Nigerian Army, Major General Oluyemi Thomas Olatoye, who was on a familiarization visit to the Government House, Enugu, on Tuesday.
Gov Peter Mbah said…
I was delighted to receive the new General Officer Commanding (GOC) 82 Division, Nigerian Army, Major General Oluyemi Thomas Olatoye, at the Government House. We had a productive meeting and I reaffirmed our administration’s commitment to security in Enugu State.
Our zero-tolerance approach to criminality is systematically flushing out crime, making Enugu safer for residents and businesses. From the onset, we recognised security as the biggest challenge to our economic growth, and we took decisive action by deploying technology, strengthening community policing, and deepening collaboration with security agencies. The results speak for themselves.
Criminal networks have been dismantled, and perpetrators are fleeing. Our people now enjoy a more secure environment, and investor confidence in Enugu is growing. We will continue to prioritise security, providing the necessary support to our security forces to ensure that Enugu remains a place where businesses flourish and our people thrive.
