Calabar, Nigeria – In a bid to strengthen security and foster collaboration among law enforcement agencies, the Governor of Cross River State, Senator Bassey Otu, has embarked on the rehabilitation of structures and construction of roads across all security commands within the state.
This significant move reflects the administration’s commitment to enhancing security infrastructure to safeguard the well-being of citizens and promote effective governance.
The ongoing infrastructural development spans key security establishments, including the State Police Command, 13 Brigade Nigerian Army, Nigerian Airforce, Federal Road Safety Corps, and the Department of State Security Service. These projects aim to create a conducive environment for security personnel to operate efficiently and collaboratively.
During an inspection tour led by the Department of Projects/Programmes Monitoring and Evaluation (DPPME) alongside the Ministry of Works, the Special Adviser on DPPME, Mr Raphael Morphy, highlighted the administration’s focus on initiatives that bolster law enforcement capabilities.
“The Governor continues to prioritise projects that strengthen law enforcement while boosting citizens’ confidence in his administration,” said Morphy.
He commended Governor Otu for ensuring the timely completion of these critical projects, which align with the government’s broader vision to stimulate inter-agency collaboration and enhance morale for effective policing.
This infrastructure upgrade not only strengthens security operations but also lays a foundation for sustainable development by promoting productivity and ensuring equitable distribution of resources.
Governor Otu’s approach underscores his administration’s resolve to ensure the safety of all residents, fostering trust in governance and setting a precedent for inclusive growth and stability in Cross River State.
