The Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has distributed no fewer than 50 operational vehicles to security agencies in the state.
Our correspondent reports that the vehicles were distributed to the police, Army, Amotekun, NSCDC, DSS and other sister security agencies in the state.
According to Aiyedatiwa, it is important to build a safe and more secured state by placing a premium on the safety of the residents amid the escalating security challenges bedevilling the country.
The governor said the gesture was also part of the activities to mark his first 100 days in office.
The governor recalled that in July 2024, the state government distributed 25 units of Toyota Hilux vehicles to security agencies, highlighting the latest presentation as a continuation of that initiative.
He added that providing operational tools to security operatives is not only a constitutional responsibility but also a practical demonstration of the government’s appreciation for their sacrifices.
The governor urged the beneficiaries to put the vehicles into good use by deploying them for patrols, emergency responses, and other security-related activities across the state.
Speaking at the event, Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Taiwo Fasoranti, emphasized that the present administration does not treat security matters lightly.
In their separate goodwill messages, the Commander of the 32 Artillery Brigade, Brigadier General Justin Ifeanyi, the Commander of the Ondo State Security Network Agency (Amotekun Corps), Adetunji Adeleye, assured that the vehicles would be put to effective use and properly maintained.
