During a regular civic education meeting with community members on nurturing good and patriotic citizens, the District Director of Garu, Akolgo Samuel urged indigenes to promote national cohesion and peaceful co-existence among community members.

The District Director of Garu, Akolgo Samuel Atando, called on the youth groups in the district to be concerned with security issues at the community level saying every citizen must be concerned with security matters.

Mr. Akolgo in his presentation tasked the youth to report suspicious characters and activities that may involve terrorism.
