Edo State Governor Godwin Obaseki has said that his government is committing N2 billion to the Edo Security Trust Fund as part of its resolve to boost the security of lives and property in the state. Obaseki stated yesterday that the fund would help strengthen security frameworks in the state ahead of the anticipated upsurge of socio-political activities in the state this year. “We will ensure that there is peace and security during the contestation. As part of our programme to ensure sustainable security, we have earmarked N2 billion for the state’s security trust fund.”The governor added that the trust fund would also raise funds from businesses and citizens to bolster government’s ability to protect and secure them more effectively. As mortals, we will come, play our part and leave, but Edo will remain.
