Oyo Government Assures Residents of Sustained Security Through Collaboration With Intelligence Agencies
The Oyo State Government has assured residents of sustained peace and safety through its deliberate security assurance strategy, anchored on close collaboration with all security agencies operating in the state.
The assurance was given while receiving participants of the Executive Intelligence Management Course (EIMC) 19 of the National Institute for Security Studies (NISS), Abuja.
Governor Seyi Makinde, represented by the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Musbau Babatunde, said the state has continued to prioritise a united security architecture involving the Police, Nigerian Army, Nigerian Air Force, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Immigration, Customs, Federal Road Safety Corps and other relevant agencies.
According to him, the various agencies now operate in synergy through joint operational platforms such as the Rapid Response Squad and other coordinated response structures established by the government.
He noted that the integrated approach has strengthened intelligence sharing, improved emergency response time and enhanced the protection of lives and property across Oyo State.
