The senator however made specifications on how the money would be spent.

Ubah in a press release signed by Head, Media and Strategic Communications to the senator, Mr Kamen Chuks Ogbonna, Ubah also explained how the funds would be used.
The senator was quoted as saying to the governor, “It takes a secured environment for sustainable infrastructural development to take root, in the coming months.
“I will complement your efforts with a series of interventions aimed at curbing capital flight from the zone and restoring confidence in our people to return home and help in recovering our economy.”
Stating how the funds would be spent, Ubah said N200million will be spent on the training of security personnel and provision of the latest security communication gadgets for Anambra South vigilante groups.
He added that N300million would be for the provision of solar lights to further illuminate and strengthen the security architecture in Anambra South Senatorial District.
He said the promise would all be implemented in the next three months.
