Governor Ugwuanyi declares support for State Police.

The National Leadership of the Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON) has commended Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State for the state's security and peaceful atmosphere as well as the giant feats his administration has recorded in infrastructural development with the limited resources at its disposal.

Addressing newsmen after members of the National Executive Council (NEC) of ALGON inspected some projects being embarked upon by the Gov. Ugwuanyi's administration across the state. The National Chairman of the association, Hon. Kolade David Alabi, said that my impression about Enugu State is what the legal minds will call fact speaks for itself."

The ALGON National Chairman, who disclosed that they were in Enugu for their National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, stressed that "Gov. Uguanyi has done very well."

Hon. Alabi further said: "I was completely amazed when I got to the College of Medicine (ESUT) that is being put in place by the Executive Governor."

"You know this COVID-19 pandemic has already exposed that we have deficit of healthcare facilities, and what the governor is doing is commendable."

The Commissioner for Information has told me that he governor has also provided Isolation Centres in the General Hospitals. That is commendable too.

"Enugu is peaceful, we have seen that like I said, to measure a state is to look at the security of that state."

Speaking on ongoing calls for State Police, the ALGON boss urged the Federal Government to grant the request to enhance the security of the country.

"We also use this medium as a point of contact to the Presidency that they should grant State Police because to me security is a bottom top approach. It is not a top-bottom approach, and when we adopt this bottom top approach to security then the country will be safe for all of us."

Hon. Alabi also applauded the Council Chairmen in Enugu State for their efforts in promoting peace, security and infrastructural development in the rural communities.
