Ilorin
Kwara State Government on Friday, handed new Toyota Hillux vans to security agencies in the state as part of its multi-prong approach to further secure the lives and property of the people of the state.
Duaglobalnews recalls the donation came barely two weeks after Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq called a security dialogue that drew participants from various sectors and interest groups across the state.
Presenting the vehicles (9) to security chiefs in the state at the Government House in Ilorin, Prof. Mamman Jibrin Saba, the Secretary to the State Government said they were meant to re-energise the Operation Harmony.
Operation Harmonic is a state-driven initiative, comprising the security agencies in the state.
He said:”When this government came on board, Operation Harmony was in a shocking condition, but I am thrilled by the zeal of His Excellency, the Governor, to bring the outfit back to live.
” It all started with the regular payment of subvention and provision of logistics to the outfit since inception of this administratio.”
“We are, however, hopeful that the distribution of these vehicles will enhance effective and efficient discharge of your duties. I urge you to maintain and make good use of them in order to serve the desired purpose,”he said.
Responding on behalf of his colleagues,the Commissioner of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, said the gesture underpinned the Governor’s efforts to checkmate crime and strengthen security in the state.
He promised that the vehicles would be used for the purpose intended.
