The Enugu state Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, on Saturday expressed optimism over the effectiveness of aerial surveillance to tackle all forms of insecurity and crimes within Enugu State.

A joint aerial surveillance patrol of forest areas and people returning unauthorized arms was a decision reached at an emergency meeting of the Enugu State joint security held in Enugu on Friday.

Ugwuanyi said this after presenting prizes to outstanding officers of Nigerian Air Force (NAF) during NAF annual 10 kilometres walk/jog exercise in Enugu.

The governor, who participated in the exercise, lauded the NAF Ground Training Command (GTC), Enugu, for their exceptional performance in their internal security duties, which had helped to make the state one of the safest in the country.

According to him, the Chief of Air Staff, Marshal Abubakar Sadique, must be commended for the tremendous role NAF is playing in reducing insurgency in the country as well as their professional internal security duties.
