She called on Sir Chikwe Udensi to collaborate with the University to establish a “Faculty of Security Studies” at the Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu University campus

She observed that a security-conscious society can only be achieved by institutionalizing the subject through security knowledge exploration, dissemination, and preservation in the university.

They stressed that in recent times, the South East and Anambra State had remained a flash point of insecurity that had led to loss of lives and properties worth billions of naira and thus crippling the economic activities and business growth in the region.

Sir Chikwe Udensi on his part thanked his guests for the honour accorded him and further reiterated that intellectualizing the Security Situations in the South East as a means of providing a solution.

He said this move could not have come at no better time than now

He asserted that It is a welcome development that requires the efforts and sacrifice of the citizens and government to achieve.

Sir Udensi pledged to collaborate with the Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu University Authority in actualizing the proposal presented to him.
