One of the ways he and the leadership has been able to achieve this mean feat is the cooperation given to security agencies operating within Eket Local Government territory.The Police and other security agencies in Eket Local Government Area have been give maximum cooperation by the Honourable Frank Archibong led government which has made the discharge of their duties easy and smooth in combating crimes.The assistance given comes with basic support to help security operatives carry out their duties effectively and today,the effort has yielded fruits in the city to a peaceful and serene environment good for business and economic development.
For a government to succeed,the security of lives and properties of the people must be of paramount to such a government,this was the word of a Pan African Leader, Elder Statesman and great Niger Deltan,Chief Edwin Clark who made the postulation recently in an interview on a National TV when asked on his inputs on the raging insecurity situation in Nigeria.In line with the words of the leader of thought,the Honourable Frank Archibong led government in Eket Local Government Area has given maximum attention to the protection and safety of the lives and properties of the people,this has been delivered on the assigned duties and responsibilities of the loca government administration effectively to the people of Eket Local Government Area.
