Anambra State Government has called on non indigenes to help curb insecurity in the state by flushing out the bad eggs among them.

Commissioner for Information, Dr Law Mefor gave the advice to members of Association of Non Indigenes Welfare in Anambra State (ANISA-ANIAS) his office.

He observed that non-indigenes have contributed meaningfully to the growth of the state.

He said, “They have equally benefited from Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo’s inclusive governance in various areas.

“Such areas included security, employment, infrastructure, healthcare, education and youth empowerment, among others.

“Available data show that majority of the criminals apprehended in the state are non-indigenes.

“They are spoiling the names of those of you doing genuine businesses.

“I urge you to do your best in supporting Governor Soludo’s security interventions to rid the state of criminals in order to redeem their image.

“The issue of security is very important. Put it in your agenda. Criminality is bad.

“We have to come together, work together with the Governor to ensure the bad eggs leave or change their ways.

“We have the 1Youth 2Skills and the Solution Innovation District (SID).

“The Governor has trained more than 30,000 people, settled and empowered them.

“Any of them that wants something to do should come. I can use my office to place him somewhere in SID.”

Mefor further assured the ministry’s willingness to partner with them in promoting government’s good works.

President General, ANISA-ANIAS, Chief Ikechukwu Ugwuoke said the visit was to commend and align his people with the visionary leadership of Governor Soludo.

Traditional leader of Non-Indigenes Welfare in Anambra State, Igwe Amos Nkwuda felicitated with the commissioner on his 60th birthday.

He pledged the group’s support to the Governor’s re-election bid.
