He charged parents and heads of institutions to monitor their children and wards to avoid engaging in cult activities and to ensure proper home training for them.
The governor thanked the Skye Bank for donating the four hilux vans to the State government in furtherance of its campaign against crime and assured them of government’s preparedness to partner with the bank in other areas.
Earlier while presenting the vans to the governor, the regional Director of Skye Bank Plc, Mr. Chinedu Ochiagha said the bank appreciated the efforts of the State government in combating crime and other vices in the State and expressed their willingness to partner with government in other areas.
