Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, on Tuesday received two surveillance aircraft and announced a strategic partnership with the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) to strengthen intelligence gathering and aerial security operations across the state.
The governor described the twin initiatives as a major boost to the fight against insecurity, saying they reflect his administration’s sustained investment in protecting lives and property.
The aircraft arrived at the Ladoke Akintola International Airport, Alakia, Ibadan, marking the completion of a security initiative unveiled by the governor about a year ago. The aircraft are expected to enhance aerial surveillance and support coordinated security operations across the state.
Speaking after receiving the aircraft, Makinde said the acquisition was aimed at complementing security personnel on the ground with advanced aerial intelligence, noting that Oyo’s vast landmass required a more sophisticated security approach.
