The bid to consolidate the improved security of lives and property in Enugu has gathered momentum with well-meaning individuals and corporate bodies rallying over N3bn in donations to the Enugu State Security Trust Fund (ESSTF).
The donations were made both physically and online during the fundraising dinner organised by the Fund at the Old Government Lodge, Enugu.
More than N3 billion was realized from individuals and corporate bodies as respected business mogul and philanthropist, Prince Arthur Ezeh, commended Governor Mbah for his strides in security and infrastructural development.
In his opening remarks, the Board of Trustees, BOT, Chairman of the Fund and Group Managing Director of Afrinvest West Africa Ltd., Dr. Ike Chioke, while commending the Dr. Peter Mbah administration for the huge impact and investments made in the area of security, including the constitution and inauguration of the Board of Trustees of the Enugu State Security Trust Fund a year ago, stressed that security was everybody’s business.
He said the only way to achieve the $30 billion GDP mark set by the governor was by sustaining and consolidating the successes made in securing lives and property through contributions by citizens, corporate bodies and all levels of government.
