The Governor of Anambra State Chief Willie
Obiano has taken his on-going war against crime in the state to a
different level as he drags a world
famous Israeli security expert, Moshe Keinan to the state’s first
Security Summit holding on 10th and 11th April this year.
Since
he came into office last month, Governor Obiano has demonstrated
uncommon resolve to stamp out violent crimes in the state, launching an
all-out offensive against kidnappers and armed robbers and setting up a
Joint Task Force made up of the police, the army, the navy and the
para-military to take the battle to the men of the underworld who had
made parts of the state unsafe for a while.
Mr. Keinan’s
involvement in the coming summit is a clear demonstration of the resolve
of the state government under Governor Obiano to leave no stone
unturned in finding a lasting solution to the challenge of insecurity in
Anambra State.
Moshe Keinan is the founder and owner of
MKGroup Consultancy, Security & Instruction LTD, a Tel-Aviv based
company that teems with experts on diverse fields of security with
specialization in intelligence, police, prisons, ports and airports
security among others.
An academic director in National
Security Studies at Galilee College, Mr. Keinan’s main interests are
mostly in the areas of security knowledge, planning and execution,
operations and intelligence, national defence, strategy and human
simulations and instruction.
Keinan is expected to exert his
enormous genius on the two-day Summit which is coming less than one
month into the life of the new administration and is expected to provide
an enduring conceptual framework that will guide security operatives in
the state into crushing out every threat to life and property in the
state from the men of the underworld.
Speaking on the
imperatives of the Summit, Governor Obiano said that hosting of the
Summit which has the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Dahiru
Abubakar as the Special Guest of Honour, further underscores his resolve
to confront the security challenges in Anambra State by tackling the
menace head-on to pave way for a more vigorous pursuit of his economic
blueprint for the state.
