He said the delivery was to enhance security and assist security agencies in monitoring identified black spots in the state.

Abiodun reiterated that his administration would continue to find ways of supporting security agencies in the state.
He disclosed that plans were underway to partner top personnel in law enforcement to come and work with the state by assisting with training, support and fund raising.
“We will soon be taking delivery of our drones that we have ordered, this will allow us to monitor the length and breadth of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and all those areas where people engage in nefarious activities.
“We will continue to find those that will collaborate with us. I recently met with two people who are highly placed in law enforcement and have decided that they are going to come and work with us by assisting with training, support and fund raising. I will unveil these people in the next couple of weeks and introduce them to you,” the governor stated.

He, therefore, on behalf of the Ogun State Government, donated a sum of N10m to the Nigeria Legion and charged its personnel to continue to discharge their duties accordingly.

Abiodun congratulated the Brigade Commander of the 35 Artillery Brigade, Alamala and his counterpart at the National Drug Law and Enforcement Agency, Brigadier General Isa Abdullahi and Mrs. Archie-Abia Ibinabo, on their promotion to the rank of Major General in the Nigerian Army and Assistant Controller General of the NDLEA, respectively.
