During a meeting with Abara community leaders, youths, security agencies, held at the palace of Eze Jonah Ezebunwa-Nwala Paramount Ruler of Abara community, Dr. Nwafor emphasized that ESPAC’s restoration is necessary due to the community’s unique status as a hub for local and international organizations.

He further encouraged community members to maintain peace and report criminal activities to authorities.
