SECURITY ENHANCEMENT
Understanding the importance of security, Barr.Chijioke Ezugwu's administration is defined by a clear security-vision and has strengthened Local security networks, providing necessary supports to over 360 Neighborhood watch members recruited under his administration and other security agencies including the Nigerian police force, army, Navy and the Nigerian civil Defense corps. Ezugwu has also increased the salary of the Neighborhood watch to motivate them for optimal performance and as well cater for the allowances of the police officers of the department of DRS posted to Uzo-uwani to assist in fighting insecurity and fuelling their patrol Vehicles on a daily basis for effective response to security challenges. All these have led to a significant reduction in crime, making Uzo-uwani LGA safer for residents, farmers and businesses.

The clearing and widening of both flanks of these roads up to 35cm away from the road under his Leadership were strategic in curbing security threats and improving access to these remote communities.These roads have significantly improved transportation and facilitated economic activities,and connected remote communities to major towns.
