In his words , I was pleased to receive the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, PhD, today at the Government House, ahead of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s state visit tomorrow.
“The IGP was delighted by our administration’s prioritisation of the security of lives and properties, and driving Enugu’s development through innovative initiatives.
“His kind words and recognition of our modest efforts, including the establishment of the state-of-the-art Command and Control Centre and the deployment of 150 patrol vehicles fitted with AI-embedded cameras for the Distress Response Squad, underscores the progress we’ve made in creating a safer, smarter Enugu.
“Security remains at the core of our strategy to grow Enugu’s economy from $4.4 billion to $30 billion. As I noted during our discussion, businesses can manage financial and commercial risks, but security risks are a dealbreaker.

“The completed multi-auditorium Enugu International Conference Centre, 90 urban roads, and our state-of-the-art Command and Control Centre with 150 patrol vehicles fitted with AI-embedded surveillance cameras are repositioning our state as a hub of progress, safety, and opportunity.
“The President’s visit will be a milestone for us; a testament to our shared vision that is taking shape. We are excited to welcome Mr President to Enugu State.
