He also disclosed plans to partner with the various local government Chairmen in the area in the area of security, stating that as Chief security officers of the there local governments of Ukwuani, Ndokwa east and west respectively, there was every need to liaise with NNU and the political class, to enable a holistic solution to any security challenge.
