The Director General of NIMASA, Dr Bashir Jamoh, made the call on Friday in a one-day security workshop to enhance security management and awareness in Imo.

The D-G, who was represented said some of the crimes in the state were carried out by illegal immigrants whose identities were unknown to the government.

Jamoh called on both military and paramilitary organisations in the state to build a stronger synergy in tackling insecurity in the state.

He said the essence of the security workshop with relevant stakeholders was to review the security situation in the state and agree on possible solution to the menace.

He said that security should not be left in the hands of uniform personnel alone and called on the general public to cooperate effectively with security agencies in the state.

The summit was organised in collaboration with Imo State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA).

The DG commended Gov. Hope Uzodimma of Imo for his consistent efforts to tackle insecurity and to ensure that peace was brought back to the state.

The Head of Imo/Abia Operations Office of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Mr Ifeanyi Nnaji, in his address, urged the government to tackle insecurity from the grassroots and restore the core value of Nigerians.

He said only when such value was restored, would the society begin to experience peace and stability.

“We need to tackle insecurity from the grassroots and bring back our core value.

“Quick money syndrome is one of the greatest challenges we are facing today; the menace of quick money must be seen as a national emergency.

“You cannot separate insecurity from disaster, a society with high insecurity will be vulnerable to disaster,’’ he said.

The Secretary of Imo Council of Traditional Rulers, Eze Lucky Okoro, said that insecurity could not be effectively tackled without good governance.

He said poor implementation of government policies and government negligence to basic needs of the masses were the major causes of insecurity in the country.

“Insecurity started from the grassroots, traditional rulers are helpless with the situation.

“We need government to empower traditional rulers with the law to tackle crimes in various localities, we don’t have any law backing us to fight criminals,’’ he said.

The News Agency of Nigerian reports that among security agencies at the workshop representatives of the Nigerian Police, Army, Civil Defence and Immigration.

Others are representatives of the state command of Correctional Centre, Customs and DSS.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
