Awka- In a move to further tame insecurity in Anambra State, Governor Chukwuma Soludo has inaugurated a new state security supervisory committee. The committee is seen as a decisive step to the governor's commitment towards ensuring the safety and security of residents of the state.

The committee, comprising representatives from various government agencies, traditional rulers, and local government leaders, is tasked with registering and monitoring the activities of the units of Agunechemba, the new security outfit, among other responsibilities.

Senior Special Assistant to the governor on New Media, Mazi Ejimofor Opara, said the collective approach would address insecurity, as it recognizes that crime and social unrest require a multifaceted solution.

Opara said: "Governor Soludo's emphasis on innovative solutions to security challenges is music to the ears of Anambra residents, who have since heaved a sigh of relief.

The committee's role in fostering collaboration between government agencies and the community, is crucial in creating a safer environment for all citizens."

He noted that the development came on the heels of Governor Soludo's unveiling of the Anambra Homeland Security Law 2025 and the launch of "Operation Udo Ga-Achi," a special security operation aimed at bolstering the state's security framework.

"These initiatives demonstrate the Governor's resolve to tackle insecurity head-on and restore peace to the state.

In the last few months after the launch of Udo Ga-Achi, the effort of the new security forces is yielding the desired results. One thing is clear and that is that Governor Soludo is taking the right steps to address the security concerns of Anambra residents.

As the state embarks on this new journey, one can't help but feel a sense of optimism that Anambra will finally become the safest state in Nigeria free from the scourge of insecurity", Opara stated.
