The Rivers State Government has said that its security outfit “Neighborhood Watch” will begin operations in two months time.
Director-General of the security group, Uche Mike Chukwuma made this known in a statement in Port Harcourt, today.
He said the state Governor has assured that the outfit will begin operations this year.
“The Governor has dictated that within the first quarter of this year, the operations of the neighbourhood safety corp agency will be rolled out,” he said.
“We are expecting that between now and end of this quarter, we will do what we need to do for the state; giving back the security of the state to the people where we have to liaise with the community leaders, traditional rulers and operational bodies and then return the security back to the people,” he added.
