Oyo Government Accelerates Mobile Police Headquarters Project, Expands Control Room to Tackle Emerging Security Threats
The Oyo State Government said it has intensified efforts to strengthen its security architecture with the accelerated construction of an ultra-modern Mobile Police Squadron headquarters and the expansion of its central security control room.
The Special Adviser to Governor Seyi Makinde on Security and Executive Secretary of the Oyo State Security Trust Fund, retired Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni disclosed this during an interview in Ibadan, the state capital.
He said the initiatives are part of a broader strategy to address evolving security challenges and improve rapid response capabilities across the state.
Owoseni disclosed that the new Mobile Police facility, currently under construction, will be completed and handed over to the Nigeria Police Force before the end of the present administration.
He noted that the project fulfills a commitment by Governor Makinde to support security agencies with critical infrastructure.
He added that the government has also upgraded and expanded the state’s security control room to enhance communication, coordination, and real-time monitoring of incidents.
He further revealed that the government has procured patrol vehicles for police divisions across the state and is providing logistical support, including fueling and maintenance, to ensure sustained operations.
Owoseni emphasized that personnel welfare is also receiving attention, noting that improved working conditions are critical to maintaining morale and boosting operational efficiency.
The ongoing projects, he said, reflect the Makinde administration’s commitment to proactively addressing security concerns and safeguarding lives and property in Oyo State.
