The Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, has restated his administration’s commitment, to the security of lives and properties of the people.
Ikpeazu stated this in a meeting with the Local Government Chairmen and some stakeholders in the security sector of the state, at the Governor’s Lodge in Aba.
He emphasized the importance of security, as the state is at the confluence of the South East and South-South, with the possibility of criminal activities from these other areas snowballing into the state.
