Gov Seyi Makinde of Oyo State
By Adeola Badru
Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has signed Executive Order No. 001 of 2026 on the Regulation, Registration and Coordination of Associations, Groups and Organisations Offering Security and Allied Services in the state as part of efforts to strengthen the state’s security architecture and ensure greater oversight of vigilante and community-based security outfits.
While signing the executive order at his Kolapo Ishola residence in Ibadan on Wednesday, Governor Makinde said the directive became necessary in response to rising security concerns across communities and the growing number of groups engaging in security-related activities without adequate coordination or regulatory supervision.
