Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, who represents Anambra South senatorial district in the National Assembly, has donated N500 million to Anambra State to aid in the fight against insecurity.
Ubah made the pledge during a visit to the state Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, at the Government House in Awka, the state capital, last Tuesday evening.
The senator, on the other hand, specified how the funds would be spent.
Anambra State had been under the control of criminals for over a year, who kidnapped, killed, and stole from residents until recently, when Soludo fought back.
Ubah in a statement signed by his Head of Media and Strategic Communications, Mr. Kamen Chuks Ogbonna, also explained how the funds would be used.
The senator was quoted as telling the governor that: “It takes a secure environment to sustain infrastructural development.
“I will complement your efforts with a series of interventions aimed at curbing capital flight from the zone and restore confidence in our people to return home and help in developing our economy.”
Ubah stated that N200 million would be spent on training security personnel and providing the latest security communication gadgets to Anambra South vigilante groups.
He also stated that N300 million would be spent on solar lights to illuminate and strengthen the security architecture in Anambra South senatorial district.
The senator stated that the promises would be fulfilled within the next three months.
