The governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo has revealed his administration’s plan to improve the security situation in the state.
Speaking shortly after meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Aso Rock, Abuja on Tuesday, August 12, the governor said his office has adopted a holistic strategy to handle security situation in Anambra.
“It involves a holistic approach to the issue of security. If you realise, in January this year, we passed our Homeland Security Law, which is trying to deal with insecurity from the foundations.
“All the deadly native doctors are on the run from the state, because these are the guys giving false hopes, and deceiving our young ones and luring them into criminality and all of that,” Soludo said.
He also noted that the state government has adopted both kinetic and non-kinetic methods to address the insecurity in the state.
“Very fundamentally, we’re approaching it very comprehensively, what they call the kinetic and non-kinetic approaches. The kinetic is gone and the usual, but the non-kinetic, especially with what we are dealing with, the youths, the empowerment, the job creation.
“We have a unique one-year programme, through skills that are like no other, where we trained and empowered about 5,000 of them, and another 8,700 will be receiving some billions this month or next month, and we’re creating several 1000s of youth millionaires right away within the first three years,” the governor added.
