Lady Mercy stated this on Friday, February 23, 2024, during a meeting hosted by the SSA to the Governor on Youth Matters, Mr. Iniobong Akpan to interface with the leadership of the Local Government, village youth presidents and heads of security agencies in Mkpat Enin Local Government.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
In his remarks, Mr. Akpan emphasized the need for partnership between community youth leaders and security officers in maintaining peaceful and safe environment, where citizens can go about their legitimate businesses and sleep with their eyes closed.
Comrade Akpan said the meeting became imperative because of the recent happenings in many of the localities, urging the youth leaders to be more patriotic in safeguarding their communities and reiterated the importance of teamwork approach at a time when security maintenance is an integral part of governance as encapsulated in the ARISE Agenda.
“As we know, the security situation has been bad and we know that as youth presidents you are the security officers of your respective villages. There is no way people will perpetuate crime in your villages and you tell me that you are not aware. It is not about being called youth presidents when you cannot even sleep in your various houses and close your two eyes.
