The Mayor of Umuahia South Local Government Area, Philip Enwereuzo, says his administration has intensified collaboration with security agencies to fight drug abuse and insecurity in the area.
He revealed that the local council has launched new youth empowerment programs to sustain peace and reduce crime in the council area.
Enwereuzo disclosed this on Monday in his office in Apumiri Ubakala.
He stated that although insecurity remains a national challenge, he maintained that Umuahia South and Abia State at large are “relatively peaceful”.
He said, “We cannot afford to be complacent. We must continue to take the necessary steps to ensure total safety and security for our people.”
