The
State Government is to equip schools across the state with School Marshals.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor,
Mr. James Eze, disclosed this during a post-exco briefing held at the
Government House, Awka.
According to Mr. Eze, the school Marshals concept which is in
keeping with the security initiative of Governor Willie Obiano, was discussed
and approved during the State Executive Council meeting as a proactive measure
developed in the light of attacks on schools across the country.
He explained that the school marshals will be charged with
ensuring safer schools by guarding against all forms of attacks by miscreants.
The Chief Press Secretary revealed that Exco also witnessed the
formal introduction of the new Managing Director of ANSIPPA, Mr Jide Ikeakor,
an Oxford University graduate while a new board for the Agency has been
approved and will be sworn in on Friday, this week.
He said government is retooling the state's one stop shop for
investments so as to bring innovation and more pragmatic initiatives in
promoting investments into the state in the next four years.
Exco also drew the attention of the public to the ongoing
recruitment into the Nigerian Army urging interested youths in the state to
take advantage of the opportunity to enlist.
