Soludo Strengthens Jerome Udoji Secretariat, Awka’s Security

In response to the security challenges facing the Jerome Udoji Secretariat Complex, Awka, the Anambra State Government, under the leadership of Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, has implemented a series of security-based interventions aimed at ensuring the complex’s safety and security.

According to the state’s commissioner for Information, Law Mefor, some of the key interventions include: enhanced Surveillance, installation of 40 CCTV cameras, which enables live coverage of the complex, Solar-Powered Control Rooms, two hybrid solar-powered control rooms to ensure uninterrupted monitoring and effective incident response.

Other initiatives include the installation of solar-powered lights for the secretariat environment to ensure the complex is provided with lights at all times, especially at night to deter potential security threats and ensure a safe working environment.

Barbed wires have also been installed around the perimeter fence to reduce unauthorized entry, while iron protectors have been mounted on doors and windows to prevent illegal access.

Additionally, identified illegal access points enabled by uncovered drainages have been covered, and the management of the security team has been changed to strengthen security administration.

More importantly, according to Mefor, the access road leading to the secretariat has been rehabilitated, ensuring easy access for easy vehicular movements and better security of the complex.

“These and other interventions being considered demonstrate Governor Soludo’s commitment to addressing the security challenges facing the Jerome Udoji Secretariat Complex and ensuring a safe and secure working environment for employees.
