The Osun State Government has said it is making available 20 Armoured Personnel Carriers to the Western Nigerian Security Network, as part of its contribution to fighting insecurity in the region.


The network is a security architecture designed by the south-west governors as a response to the spate of kidnappings, killings and other violent crimes within the region.

It was gathered that the governors of the states in the region are at the stage of launching the outfit after approval was given from the Office of the National Security Adviser.

The Osun State governor, Gboyega Oyetola, while addressing citizens of the state as part of the state’s 28th anniversary, said the state government was mindful of the need to maintain the peace in the state and in the south-west region.


The governor noted that Osun has been known for peace since its creation in 1991 and to further sustain that status, was partnering with other south-west states to strengthen security in the region.

Mr Oyetola said the Western Nigeria Security Network (WNSN) would commence operation to fortify the area.

“We are contributing 20 Armoured Personnel Carriers and other ideas and logistics to further guarantee the security of lives and property of the citizens in our state and region,” the governor said.


The governor noted that even though the government had every reason to roll out the drums in celebration of its 28th anniversary, it had decided to make it a low key, owing to the prevailing economic situation in the country.


He paid glowing tributes to the founding fathers of the state, including his predecessors in office, for laying a “solid foundation,” upon which successive administrations have continued to build on.


“We promised to pay full salary to all our workers, we have not defaulted. We promised to pay our pensioners; we have also not defaulted,” he said.


“We promised to rebuild, remodel and, in some cases, carry out total rehabilitation of existing school buildings in series 4 classrooms, 5 classrooms, 6 classrooms, 8 classrooms, 10, 15 and 20 classrooms at a maximum of 50 pupils/students per class, to cater for communities at 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 750 pupils per school.


“We have commissioned completed projects in that regard in Telemu and Morinu, in Olaoluwa and Iwo local government areas respectively. Our work as a government so far points to one fact: better days ahead.”

The governor also used the opportunity to detail the several achievements of his government on assumption of office and urge the citizens to join hands in building the state.

“The totality of our efforts in the last nine months is built on our manifesto which was carefully crafted to take our State to the Next Level,” he added.


“It shall continue to define our relationship with you. I congratulate you all, distinguished compatriots, on this eventful 28 years’ journey to Statehood. May God continue to bless the state of Osun.”

The fear of fulani herdsmen

The fear of fulani herdsmen

...is the beginning of wisdom! It's called being "Pro-active"

Shit

With all these the unknown gun men will still do their things and still remained unknown. What a country!

Children of hate come and wail

Oyetola doing good things on a stolen mandate

not sharing kerosene about

Quietly we are moving towards restructuring

After meeting by important personalities from south west. The region has not recorded any Security breach.

Western Nigeria security network.

It made me remember the western region, a region known for pioneering first among firsts in the entity called Nigeria.

God bless the South West. Lagos government should be able to donate 10 times of what Osun is donating.

The security should be the first priority of any sensible government either state or federal.

Like play,state police will soon materialize.
I fear for Nigeria.
The truth is that Nigeria is not ripe for state police.
The same shenanigan and charade that is happening with all states LG elections were the governor's party and handpicked candidates win all posts, including councillorship in an opponents own family compound,will occur here.
Governors and those close to him will determine who can be arrested,prosecuted,who to release and even who gets to be murdered or not in the name of carrying out an arrest

Meanwhile the governor of Enugu State is hiring unarmed men to go and chase Fulani herdsmen armed with AK-47s.

Isn't that a suicide mission?

It's a way of reducing population of able men and youths in the state.

BSS-Biafran Secret Service is still looking for Buhari in Japan while Fulani and Igbo herdsmen are ravaging their villages. Yoruba's talk and do, not empty chest beating like the drug traffickers from the potopoto republic of drugs and crimes

Instead of you to focus on how your so called regional outfit can be a success, you are attacking the very people that don't give a damn.
Infact, they even want it to succeed.

I am.sure when the east starts their own regional outfit, you would start crying that they want to divide your country.
Yeye people.

There has to be a.precedence first so that they won't accuse us of trying to divide the country.

Hopefully, innoson would get the vehicle contract for the eastern region.
And I hoping it would be a joint security architecture with the South South given the very close geographic proximity.

I think the SW govs mean business abt security...oyo state gov has also approved money to buy vehicles for security agency too

The south south should do theirs separately .... But let there be a cohesion between the security outfits because of the proximity .. To prevent clashing

The south east ought to be leading this not the west
