Soludo’s Government Approves New Training, Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Agencies in Anambra



AWKA, ANAMBRA – The Anambra State Executive Council (ANSEC), led by Governor Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo, has approved additional training and the implementation of a new Code of Conduct for law enforcement agents in the state, aimed at enhancing professionalism, accountability, and effective service delivery.

The decision was made during the 13th ANSEC meeting held at the state’s newly inaugurated Government House, The Light House, in Awka on Monday, June 30, 2025, where key developmental issues were discussed.

Speaking on the Council’s resolution, the Commissioner for Information, Dr. Law Mefor, said the initiative forms part of Governor Soludo’s ongoing transformation of critical sectors in the state. He described the move as a deliberate step to create a secure, efficient, and responsive public enforcement system.

“This is in line with the governor’s vision to make Anambra the Dubai-Silicon Valley of Nigeria — a state where economic, business, and civic activities thrive in an orderly and secure environment,” Dr. Mefor stated.

The Commissioner explained that the new Code of Conduct will guide the operations of agencies such as Agunechemba, Ocha Brigade, and the Anti-Touts Squad, while the additional training will equip operatives with best practices in law enforcement and citizen engagement.

“Though these agencies have received high praise for their performance, we recognize the need to raise the bar even further. The new training will improve their capacity, ensure better accountability, and eliminate unethical practices,” he added.

The training programme has already commenced, with the Code of Conduct set to be issued to all operatives upon completion.

In a related development, the Council also referenced an earlier resolution made during its 11th meeting, which focused on improving road safety across the state. The Council announced plans to train and retrain drivers, while also introducing a blacklist for motorists who commit serious traffic violations.

The initiative is aimed at instilling discipline among road users and reducing traffic-related hazards across Anambra.

Governor Soludo’s administration has continued to push comprehensive reforms across infrastructure, security, digital innovation, and human capital development, with the goal of building a more livable, prosperous Anambra for all.
