Security personnel and experts drawn from various security and paramilitary agencies have hailed Enugu State Government’s heavy investment in security, calling on other states to emulate the state.

The experts and security personnel were members of the Executive Intelligence Management Course (EIMC) 19 of the National Institute for Security Studies (NISS), Abuja, who paid a courtesy visit to Governor Peter Mbah at Government House, Enugu, yesterday.

Team Lead, Olalekan Fashanu, told Mbah that the team was on a study tour of Enugu State in fulfilment of their course, which focuses on “Ethnic Militia and Resource Competition in Africa: Implications for National Security.”

Fielding questions from Government House correspondents, a staff member of NISS, Dr. Olusola Opa-Ola, singled out the ultramodern Enugu State Command and Control Centre with accompanying AI-enabled cameras mounted across the state for praise, saying it is a very potent infrastructure for fighting insecurity. “We have come here on a study tour in Enugu State.

We are happy with what we have seen so far. We are impressed, especially in the area of security. “With the command and control they have installed, which has assisted them in so many ways in curbing insecurity and in identifying grey areas, and which is a major factor that enables them to achieve these great lengths that they have achieved.”
