Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has reiterated that Security remains his administration’s top priority, stressing that a safe and secure environment is fundamental to governance and development.
Governor Otti stated this, Thursday, when he received a delegation from the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) led by Barr. Abdullahi Bello.
The Governor emphasized that security is the backbone of governance, stating that when security fails, every other aspect of governance is affected.
He noted that while many security efforts of his administration may not be in the public domain, the results speak for themselves.
“These efforts manifested in the just concluded Yuletide as there were little or no reports of security breaches across the state.
“For us the most important part of Governance is security, if security fails, every other thing fails.
“We attach top priority to issues around security, that is why we are excited to have you here to give us all the support that you can and at the same time, you too can learn from our experiences“, Gov. Otti noted.
The Governor commended the collaborative efforts of Security Agencies agencies in the State, which he said contributed to a seamless, secure and peaceful Yuletide celebration.
He described the visit by the delegation as an opportunity for both parties to exchange knowledge and enhance security strategies.
Earlier, the leader of the delegation, Barr. Abdullahi Bello, praised Governor Otti for his achievements in Security and Infrastructure.
He explained that their visit to Abia State was part of a “Victim Impact Assessment” initiative aimed at evaluating security-related concerns in the State.
