The federal government has sited police Academy in Anambra state, saying the aim is to fight insecurity and unemployment in the Southeast.
Federal government’s delegation led by Arc Okey Johnson Imoatu, visited the site at Umuchukwu, in Orumba south local government area of the state at the weekend.
The donor of the recently approved Police College and Academy in Anambra State, Dr Godwin Maduka, said it was a good development for Southeast.
He said the federal government would use institutions to create employment for young people in the south east region.
Maduka, a United State’s medical doctor and pain manager, said it would help youths and other school leavers who had no meaningful employment to enroll and sharpen their skills that would help them to be absorbed in the police force.

Maduka, said the academy would also help to phase out crime through the use of modern crime fighting techniques.
According to him, “I decided to attract this project to Umuchukwu as a way of helping youths gain employment and also fight corruption in our society”
“The project would be sitting on 50 hectares of land which I have already procured as you see, and from the inspection which we have undertaken today with members of the police service commission, you can see that they are pleased with the arrangement so far,” Maduka said.
The leader of the Federal government delegation of the police service commission, Arc Okey Johnson Imoatu ,said it was a project both the state and local government could not initiate.
Imoatu, who is the chief consultant of the commission expressed happiness at the project.
According to him , “What the state and local government could not do, Dr Maduka has single handedly done.”
He described it as a worthy project that would help in intelligence gathering and also enhance the work of the police force in carrying out their jobs efficiently.
