University Don applauds Gov Uzodimma for Security improvement in Imo

Dr. Uche Igwe, a noted university don, has commended Governor Hope Uzodimma for what he describes as a visible improvement in security across Imo State, particularly in rural communities.  

In a statement issued at Owerri, Dr. Igwe said that recent visits to several communities in Mbaise revealed a return to calmness and reduced metrics of insecurity. He noted that residents now feel safer and that day-to-day life is gradually returning to normal.  

Dr. Igwe attributed the improvement to sustained synergy between the state government and traditional institutions. In particular, he praised Eze Nwandu of Ihitteaforukwu for instituting a Royal Guards outfit to support community policing. He described the monarch’s foresight as complementary to governmental security efforts.  

He called on other traditional rulers and local leaders across the state to replicate such models, stressing that community-driven security structures should supplement formal law enforcement for lasting stability.
