APC Chieftain Offers Panacea For Insecurity …Lists Job Creation, Private Sector Synergy
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Prince Tonye Princewill, has revealed solutions to the rising insecurity in the state.
Princewill made the revelation in an interview with newsmen, yesterday, in Port Harcourt.
He said that persistent cult clashes, kidnappings and general insecurity menace presently haunting most parts of the state had created bad perception for the once business-friendly state, leaving investors with no option than relocating their businesses to safe areas.
While acknowledging steps thus far taken by the government to tame the menace, Princewill added that job creation and private sector collaboration were key to ending insecurity and crime in the state.
“Recently, the state government procured some security vehicles to boost security operations in the state.
“I’m not going to say that I am satisfied with this effort, but unfortunately for us, the security situation here in Rivers State calls for very serious concern. So, any progress made in this direction is actually worth commending.
“I am happy that the situation is visible enough to have attracted the governor’s attention and it’s a welcome development.
“I just came in from Buguma, which is the part of the state lying in the middle of the creeks. It was peaceful, and I spent about five days there having a good time with my people,” Princewill said.
