How I will solve security challenges of Enugu, by Nweke Jr

- From Lawrence Njoku ( Enugu)

THE governorsh­ip candidate of the All Progressiv­es Grand Alliance ( APGA) in Enugu State, Frank Nweke Jr., has said that tackling security challenges remains a priority for his administra­tion if voted into office, to engender developmen­t and growth of the state.

Speaking at a function organised by Pacesetter Frontier Magazine, in Enugu, he noted that Closed- Circuit Television ( CCTV) would be installed at strategic locations in the state as he did in his Ozalla town, Enugu South Council, to reduce crime.

Nweke Jr. stated that the most important tool to prevent or solve crime is intelligen­ce gathering and monitoring; hence, he would work with traditiona­l rulers, town union leaders and local vigilante groups, and task them to provide accurate informatio­n needed by security agencies to work.

He added that technology would also be deployed to aid intelligen­ce gathering and monitoring, noting that it had been done in his Ozalla community.
