Kwara Govt  Donates New Patrol Vehicles To Police As  Gov AbdulRazaq Restates Commitment To Security  

Kwara State Government on Monday donated 10 new patrol vehicles to the ‘Operation Harmony Tactical Team’, a kind gesture Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq said will help to strengthen security of lives and property  in the state and build confidence within the business community. 

The tactical team is a combined security outfit under the State Command of the Nigeria Police Force.

Team@orientactualmags.com  learned this was the third time the administration would be  making operational vehicles available  to the police to beef up security in the state. It had similarly donated patrol vehicles to other security agencies at  different times. 

At the brief handing over ceremony held at the Government House, Ilorin,  the Governor said:  ‘We are supporting our security agencies by giving them additional equipment to make their job easier. As you have seen, the security issue in the country is getting better daily. We want to keep it that way’.

AbdulRazaq commended the Police and other security agencies in the State for their gallantry in making Kwara one of the safest states in Nigeria. 

‘Kwara State is arguably the safest State in Nigeria. We are doing our best to keep it that way by ensuring that the citizens remain safe. And part of what we need to do is to keep supporting our security agencies. I thank them for the work they have been doing to allow us to sleep with our eyes closed at night. We are truly grateful for the efforts’  he said.

Giving his speech, after formally receiving the patrol cars, the  state Police Commissioner, Mr  Paul Odama  appreciated the Governor for always responding to their operational needs and promised not to let the State government and the people of the State down with regard to their duties. 

‘I am really thankful to Your Excellency the Governor of Kwara State for giving us these vehicles. As you rightly said, Kwara State is one of the most peaceful states in the country presently. And we need to keep that position and even improve on it’ he said.

Odama  also thanked the Inspector General of Police,  Alkali Baba Usman for playing an important role in this respect, and for making sure that every part of the country is properly policed. 

The event was attended by some cabinet members and party executives, including the Secretary to the State Government Prof. Mamman Saba Jubril; Special Adviser on Security, retired  General Tunde Bello ; Senior Special Assistant on Security,  Aliyu Muyideen; and the state APC Chairman, Prince  Sunday Fagbemi- Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
