All security agencies in Oyo state have benefitted from donations of utility items by House of Representatives ‘Member, Hon Abass Adigun Agboworin, with a view to boosting morale of officers and men of their various commands.
Newsarena.ng reports that each set of the items had one generating set, one Refrigerator, one water dispenser, one standing fan, one printer, two packs of printing papers and writing materials.
According to the lawmaker who represents Ibadan South-East/North-East Federal Constituency, the gesture was borne out of the need to support and encourage security agencies as they continue to sacrifice for the safety of lives and property in the state in line with governor Seyi Makinde’s vision.
Speaking shortly after the donation held in Ibadan, Hon. Agboworin who acknowledged the importance of security in any society said the contributions and commitment of security personnel in his constituency cannot be overemphasized.
“I want to sincerely appreciate all our security agencies for their immense contribution towards the safety of lives and property in my constituency and Oyo State at large. The police, Amotekun, Operation burst, FRSC, and other outfits are doing a great job. Imagine if the police were to go on strike for just one day—there would be chaos. Their commitment to duty keeps our society stable and peaceful,” he said.
“Having served in the American Navy for more than a decade, I understand the pressure, sacrifice, and discipline it takes to keep communities safe. That experience has shaped my passion for supporting our men and women in uniform here in Nigeria,” he added.
The lawmaker also expressed readiness to engage the security agencies within his constituency on a regular basis to map out strategies in boosting security in communities.
He commended the Oyo State Government under Governor Seyi Makinde for its sustained investment in security and strategic collaboration with federal and local agencies..
“Oyo State today stands out as one of the safest in Nigeria, if not the safest. This is due to the synergy between the government, the security agencies, and our people. It’s a model that should be replicated nationwide,” he said.
The Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Command, represented by the DC Operations, Ekanem Usen, lauded the initiative, thanking the lawmaker for deeming it fit to extend the gesture to security agencies.
“I want to thank you for doing this. We have seen many empowerment programmes you have done and I must appreciate you for reaching out to us.
“I want to say a very big thank you to him. On behalf of all the security agencies, I want to commend your efforts on this. These operational equipment are needed before operations, during and after. They are meant for office use.”
Also speaking, the Executive Assistant on Security to the governor, CP Sunday Odukoya (rtd), commended the lawmaker for the initiative, noting that (Agboworin) is aligning with the governor’s efforts to enhance security in the state.
