Why the Willie Obiano ‘s administration remains enviable.

Fighting crime through a human capacity building approach; why the Willie Obiano ‘s administration remains enviable.

 

In every society across the globe, the security of lives and properties of citizenry remains the cardinal objective of any sincere government, in other words, if these role is found wanting of any government, such government is said to have failed.

 

So far, most government in Nigeria have not succeeded in carrying out this herculean/laborious task perfectly simply because most of them in the past and at present have always followed the same method / approach.

 

However, it is difficult to apply the same method in administrative structure especially in crime prevention and expect a different result.

 

Interestingly, the Obiano led administration no doubt has tremendously left an indelible mark in the area of crime prevention in Anambra state through a systematic approach by harnessing the potentials in Anambra youths and making them part of the decision making organ and an integral part of his administration thereby taking them out from perpetual use and dump tradition by previous governments.

 

For example, 95℅ of the state house of Assemblies today in the 7th Assembly of Anambra state are all youths courtesy of governor Willie Obiano’s youth initiative mechanism.

 

Currently, research have shown that over 70℅ of his cabinets / appointees are youths ranging from commissioners, special advisers, managing directors of agencies / government establishments, senior special assistants ( SSAs), special assistants ( SAs) and executive assistants (EAs) and numerous youths employed into the Anambra state civil service under his watch. etc.

 

The difference between a leader and great leaders is that great leaders thinks differently in a great way and transforms their ideas into a workable / practical reality, they never allow their vision to die unimplemented and further pursues her goals in relation to the interest of the state and her citizens.

 

In Anambra today, the Obiano’s administration apart from his vigorous approach in sustaining the entire security architecture through the provision of security equipments needed for daily activities of security agencies in the sate, the government has also involved the youths in gainful and profitable ventures thereby reducing drastically the tendencies of crime in our society, it is therefore important to note that 70℅ of the crime committed whether organized or unorganized are perpetrated by the youths and instead of fighting crime itself, the Obiano’s led administration began by holistically fighting / solving the root causes of these crimes (unemployment and lack of human capacity building) which makes his administration exceptionally different because he never followed the same method by others before him and that was why he was able to achieve a different positive result.

 

We must therefore subscribe to the assertion that no society is crime free, not even the advanced countries, however, if the present government in Anambra had absorbed over one million youths directly or indirectly between 2014 till date, we must therefore applaud the government and support its policies and programmes to enable her do more for ndi Anambra.

 

It is therefore important to note that Rome was not built in a day and by expecting the government of the day to finish the entire needs of the state in just 8years is a crime itself on the part of the opposition.
