Umo Eno: On Safety and Security of the Girl Child

“A research published on Sabinet African Journal shows that cultists and gangsters cannot protect life and property, because they are the prime perpetrators of conflict and insecurity- rape, murder, kidnapping, armed robbery and domestic violence.

This is supported by a survey on 50 victims of rape in Akwa Ibom State, by lsdhub.org, in 2021, which indicated that perpetrators were mostly gangsters and cultists, who disguised as armed robbers to carry out the act.

PUE’s administration, from 2023, will be effective in the fight against rape and the abuse of the girl child in Akwa Ibom State, in line with Goal 8 of the Arise Agenda, which harps on safety and security, and the SDG -16, which seeks to ‘promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development…’ Eno, therefore, will be uncompromising in his desire to give the girl child in the state, a sustainable future…”

Akwa Ibom, Arise and Shine!
