The lawmaker representing Ibadan North East/South East federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Rep. Abass Adigun (Agboworin) on Thursday, presented empowerment items to security agencies in Ibadan North East/South East federal constituency, as part of his efforts to support and enhance their operations.
The agencies include the Police, Department of State Security (DSS), NSCDC, Operation Burst, and Amotekun.
The items presented to the agencies include refrigerators, generating sets, printers, water dispensers, industrial fans, valuable stationery items, and cash gifts.
Agboworin, in his welcome remarks, noted that the initiative was aimed at complementing the efforts of the Oyo State governor, His Excellency ‘Seyi Makinde, in revamping the security architecture of the state.
“We need to remember our security agencies. I am doing this because I believe they are doing well and need to be motivated. Also, I am part and parcel of security because of my background in the military.
“Let us imagine what will happen if our security agencies go on strike for maybe a week.
“So, I want to also urge other politicians who have the capacity to do something like this to carry out this same gesture.”
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.”
Similarly, the Executive Assistant on Security to the governor, CP Sunday Odukoya (rtd), in his brief remark, commended the lawmaker for the initiative, noting that (Agboworin) is aligning with the governor’s efforts to enhance security in the state.
“What he has done today is another good development, and if others can emulate it, it will take insecurity in the state to the barest minimum.
“There is no doubt that Rep. Agboworin is toeing the path of the governor of the State with this lovely project, which is very commendable.”
