Apparently taking a cue from the South West security outfit – Amotekun – governors of the South-east geo-political zone have expressed their readiness to form a security outfit for the region.
They said the name of the security outfit would be made known to the public after the South-east Governors’ Forum next meeting, adding that the necessary arrangements for the commencement of the outfit are in place.
Chairman of the forum and Governor of Ebonyi State, Engr. David Umahi, said after unveiling the outfit, the commissioners for justice of the different South-east states would finalize a draft bill for passage into law by each state’s House of Assembly to give a legal backing to the security outfit.
Umahi said while the Second Niger Bridge would be completed and handed over in 2022, the August 30 completion deadline for Enugu Airport is unchanged
