Oyo state Governor Seyi Makinde, Sunday hinted that the governors of the South West region have agreed to launch new security architecture in August.
The governor dropped the hint while speaking at a special thanksgiving service in honour of his mother, Madam Abigail Makinde at St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Yemetu, Ibadan.
The governor said Oyo, on its part, is to equally launch a state-wide security system before his 100 days in office, saying the governors of South West states had been meeting to find lasting solution to the security challenges in the region.
“I and other governors of the South-west have met on how to launch a new security architecture before the end of August 2019. The first 100 days of this government will be on the 5th of September and before the 5th of September, we will launch new security architecture in Oyo state,” he said.
Responding to a section of the homily by the officiating clergy, Venerable Samuel Osungbeju on the rising waves of insecurity in Nigeria, the governor gave the four key pillars of his administration as security, health, education and economy, said that his government would strengthen supervision and monitoring of the implementation of health and education policies.
He maintained that his government would also direct energy in the way of job creation, to ensure that the teeming population of jobless youth are taken care of and that having cancelled the N3, 000 education levy imposed on students by the immediate past administration, his government will ensure strict monitoring of the improved monthly subvention which will soon be provided for the schools.
