Gov. Dapo
Abiodun of Ogun on Friday, August 2, announced plans by governors of the
southwest zone to operate a joint security team to patrol the entire region.
Abiodun disclosed this in Abeokuta at a sensitisation programme on the vision
and focus of his administration held in preparation of the 2020 budget .
“A
joint security team that will patrol major roads and provide adequate security
to the people of the southWest region of the country will soon be set up,” he
said.
Abiodun, who
expressed concern over the security situation in the country, said governors in
the region had concluded arrangements over the issue. He noted that no serious
investor would be willing to commit funds in an area where they were not sure
of the security of their lives and investments.
The governor
also announced plans by the Ogun government to amend the laws guiding the
security trust fund of the state. Abiodun said that an amended Security Trust
Fund Bill would soon be forwarded to the state House of Assembly for
legislative action. He said that major stakeholders would be involved in the
management of the fund, adding that under the proposed arrangement, they would
be allowed to take decisions without waiting for him.
The governor
also stated that the government had commenced palliative measures on some bad
roads in the state, particularly federal roads linking Ogun and Lagos states.
