APC, senator Chris Ngige yesterday said he would tackle
head long the vexed issue of security in the state within the
first 100 days in office if voted as the next governor of the
state come November 16.
Speaking with Vanguard, Ngige regretted that in the past eight
years of the present administration there had been
unprecedented cases of various crimes ranging from
kidnapping, armed robbery among others in the state that were
not witnessed during his tenure as governor of the state.
Citing section 2(14) of the 1999 Constitution Ngige said the
government of Mr Peter Obi had failed in the cardinal and
fundamental duty of governance.
He said the first step which he described as preventive would
be to make the educational curriculum have vocational
training orientation so that after secondary education, school
leavers could create jobs for themselves.
Besides,he said he would boost graduate employment by
creating agricultural settlement that would employ thousands
of young graduates and further improve the power situation
through procuring independent power plants, IPP to generate
power for the State.
In the curative approach, Ngige pledged to synchronise the
security system to enable the Vigilante Services and the
Nigeria Police work together seamlessly.
Ngige who is also a member of the Senate Committee on
Police Affairs threw his weight behind the age long demand
for state police by some section of Nigerians.
