“The security tour was part of his administration’s efforts to ensure that residents could go about their legitimate activities without fear,” Ubandoma said.
Ubandoma stressed that peace and security were essential prerequisites for economic growth and sustainable development, noting that no meaningful development could take place in an atmosphere of insecurity.
“Peace and security are the foundation of development. I will not sit in the office while my people are not safe. We are going everywhere to ensure Ibi is safe,” he said..
The council chairman assured residents that his administration would continue to work closely with security agencies and relevant stakeholders to prevent threats and respond promptly to emerging security challenges.
He further urged residents to remain vigilant and cooperate with security operatives by providing useful information that could help prevent crime and protect communities.
Ubandoma maintained that his administration would not relent in its efforts to secure communities across Ibi, stressing that the security of residents remained a collective responsibility requiring the cooperation of government, security agencies and the public.
