Obiano Tasks Nigerians On Promotion Of Security
Governor Willie Obiano has described security of life and
property as everybody’s business.
Speaking at Saint Patrick’s Cathedral Awka during a Mass to
Mark this year’s Armed Forces and Remembrance Day celebration, Governor Obiano
called for a collective effort towards the actualization of a safer Nigeria.
Governor Obiano charged the citizenry to always contribute
to the strengthening of the security apparatus of both the State and the
Nigerian-Nation.
The Governor who was represented by his Deputy Dr Nkem
Okeke while commending Officers and Men of the security agencies in the State
for all their efforts in ensuring adequate security of life and property in
Anambra, called on Officers and Men of the Nigeria Armed Forces to be more
committed to duty to ensure a safer and stronger Nigeria.
He encouraged Nigerians to always support the security
agencies to enable them serve the country better.

Most Reverend Paulinus Ezeokafor whose message centered on Christ’s baptism,
charged Christians to always portray Christ through their daily lives.
He called on Government at different levels to place
priority on security of life and property which he said is the cardinal
function of the government.
Bishop Ezeokafor commended Governor Willie Obiano for his
effective security network in Anambra State which he noted has restored the
confidence of investors to Anambra State and called on other Governors to
emulate him.
The service also witnessed the presence of the Speaker of
the Anambra State House of Assembly, Mr Uchenna Okafor, State Head of Service,

Authority, Venerable Amaechi Okwuosa, President Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Anambra State Chapter,
