IJOBA AUTHORITY MOE Commends Hon. Abass Adigun Agboworin’s Rare Empowerment Initiative for Security Agencies — Describes the gesture as a diet of its kind, worthy of emulation across Oyo State

In what has been described as a remarkable demonstration of leadership and compassion, Hon. Abass Adigun Agboworin, the lawmaker representing Ibadan North East/Ibadan South East Federal Constituency, empowered several security agencies with essential operational tools to enhance their efficiency and boost public safety.

The event, held on Thursday, October 30, 2025, at the Ibadan Civic Center, Idi Ape, drew dignitaries, party stalwarts, and top security officers from across Oyo State. The empowerment initiative included the donation of vital items such as fridges, generators, printers, and other office equipment to the Nigeria Police Force, DSS, Amotekun, NSCDC, and Operation Burst within the constituency.

Speaking at the event, Hon. Agboworin reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the vision of His Excellency, Engr. Seyi Makinde, in building a safer and more secure Oyo State.

“This empowerment programme is an extension of Governor Seyi Makinde’s ongoing drive to strengthen the state’s security architecture,” Hon. Agboworin stated. “During my constituency visits, I realized that many of our security outfits lacked basic operational tools. This initiative is to fill those gaps and motivate others to prioritize security as a shared civic duty, not a campaign agenda.”

He further called on private organizations, corporate citizens, and individuals to assist security agencies with logistics and operational support, emphasizing that collective action is key to sustainable peace.

“If our security agencies are poorly equipped or demoralized, the safety of our communities becomes compromised. This is why everyone must contribute,” he added.

The list of donated items includes:

Fridges

Generators

Water Dispensers

HP LaserJet Printers

Bundles of A4 Paper

Writing Pads

Packs of Official Files

Beneficiaries include the Nigeria Police Force, Oyo State Command; DSS offices in Ibadan North East and Ibadan South East; Amotekun Corps; NSCDC; Operation Burst; and several divisional police headquarters across the constituency.

Meanwhile, Hon. Moyosoreoluwa Olamilekan Eldreez, popularly known as IJOBA AUTHORITY MOE, from Ibadan North East, lauded Hon. Agboworin’s empowerment drive, describing it as “a diet of its kind” and “a leadership model that reflects genuine concern for grassroots security.”

“What Hon. Agboworin has done is beyond politics — it is purposeful governance and empathy in action,” MOE stated. “Empowering security agencies shows he understands that safety is the foundation of development. This rare initiative deserves commendation and replication across all federal constituencies.”

In his goodwill message, the Oyo State Commissioner of Police, represented by the Officer in Charge of Operations (OC Ops), praised Hon. Agboworin for identifying the crucial needs of the security sector. Similarly, CP Sunday Odukoya (rtd), Executive Adviser on Security Matters to Governor Seyi Makinde, applauded the lawmaker’s foresight and alignment with the Governor’s pro-security agenda.

Other notable attendees included Chief Nureni Akanbi (Arole Iba Oluyole); Engr. Akin Akinleye, Executive Assistant on Sports Development; Hon. Dare Adeleke, PDP Chieftain; Hon. Adedoja Ekolo, Former Chairman of Ibadan South East LGA; Isaiah Fatokun Baba Abuye, Chairman LG PDP, Leader Remi Yusuff, S.A. to the Speaker on Political Matters; and several PDP leaders across both local governments.

The event was widely described as first of its kind in the state, underscoring Hon. Agboworin’s proactive leadership and his unwavering dedication to the safety, welfare, and progress of his constituency.
