The Governor of Abia State, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, is daily working hard to improve the security architecture of the state in order to serve our people better. He takes his duty of protecting lives and property very seriously and will continue to ensure that Abia retains her position as one of the safest and most peaceful states in Nigeria.

Thank you.
