The Governor of Ebonyi State, Rt. Hon Francis Nwifuru, recently addressed the pressing issue of insecurity in the state by implementing an Executive Order banning the use of tinted glasses and unregistered cars. This decision comes in the wake of a tragic incident where four police officers were killed while on duty along Hilltop Road in Ebonyi Local Government Area.

During a special Church Service at the New Government House Chapel in Abakaliki, Governor Nwifuru emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability in public service. He expressed his disbelief at public officials hiding behind tinted windows after being elected by the people, stating, “I wonder why after asking people to vote me, and I will turn out to be hiding myself.”

The Governor’s proactive stance on addressing insecurity and restoring public trust is commendable. He urged all government officials to prioritize security as a collective responsibility, emphasizing that the safety of citizens should be paramount. Governor Nwifuru reassured the public that measures are being taken to combat criminal activities, with a promise that the perpetrators will be brought to justice.

In a time where security concerns are prevalent globally, Governor Nwifuru’s actions serve as a reminder of the importance of transparency and accountability in governance. By taking a firm stand against the use of tinted glasses and unregistered vehicles, he is sending a clear message that security is a top priority in Ebonyi State.

As we navigate through uncertain times, it is crucial for leaders to address security challenges head-on and ensure the safety of their constituents. Governor Nwifuru’s unwavering commitment to tackling insecurity sets a positive example for other regions facing similar issues.
