Governor of Ondo State, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has presented 25 Hilux vehicles to various security agencies in the State.
It was the first batch of the provision of operational vehicles to boost security by the administration.
Speaking during the presentation ceremony, held at the Governor’s office car park, in Akure, the Governor emphasised the vital role that the security agencies play in safeguarding the lives and properties of the people of the State.
Reflecting on the legacy of his predecessor, the late Oluwarotimi Odunayo Akeredolu, who was instrumental in establishing the South West Security Network, also known as the Amotekun Corps, Governor Aiyedatiwa reaffirmed his commitment to prioritising the security and safety of residents.
The Governor also highlighted the increased need for security during election periods, acknowledging the surge in criminal activities during such times. He noted that the new vehicles would motivate and assist security agencies in their critical duties.
He assured that his administration would continue to support security agencies, promising that those who did not benefit from this batch would receive their vehicles in due course.
Governor Aiyedatiwa also promised continued logistic support and urged the security agencies to make good use of the vehicles to maintain law and order in the state.
Earlier in his welcome address, the Secretary to the State Government, Hon. Tayo Oluwatuyi, emphasized the current administration’s commitment to enhancing the efficiency of security agencies within Ondo State.
