Women group extols military for improved security in South East

The South-East Women Professionals based in Anambra have lauded  the Nigerian Armed Forces and other sister agencies for their efforts in improving security situation in the zone.

This is contained  in a statement jointly  signed  by the President of the group, Mrs Ijeoma Okafor and Secretary, Princess Ada Udi and made available to newsmen  in Abuja on Saturday.

The group attributed the feat to the efforts of the Armed Forces and the unwavering commitment of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Christopher Musa.

The group said: “The CDS is fully committed to the  restoration of peace nationwide especially in the South-East region.”

The statement appreciated the significant improvement recorded as business activities which were initially  grounded  in the zone were gradually bouncing back.

The group also solicited the cooperation and understanding of the residents to the security agencies for lasting peace and stability in  the zone.

“We cannot but commend the Armed Forces  under its present leadership for the improvement on the  security situation in the South-East zone.

“The zone have been turned into a war zone by criminals who were  trying to traumatise  the peace loving people of the zone.

“The ongoing clearance operations by troops of the AFN are a welcome development as  life is gradually  returning to normal.

“We, therefore, urge the residents  to support and work with the military toward  restoring   peace and stability in the area,” the group added.
