The Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Abia State on Due Process, Dr. Oluebube Amarauche Chukwu, has praised Governor Alex Otti, OFR, for the successful launch of the Abia State Security Trust Fund.
Dr. Chukwu described the initiative as a strategic move to reinforce the notable progress made in safeguarding lives and property since the beginning of the Otti administration. According to him, the fund marks a new chapter in maintaining the peace and safety that has spurred rapid development across the state.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Chukwu lauded the governor’s security approach as “sublime and workable,” emphasizing its effectiveness in addressing emerging threats.
