First of Its Kind: Agboworin Empowers Security Agencies In Ibadan

In a remarkable show of support for security agencies, Honourable Abass Adigun Agboworin, member representing Ibadan North-East/South-East Federal Constituency and Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Narcotic Drugs, has facilitated a groundbreaking empowerment initiative aimed at strengthening the operational capacity of key security outfits in Oyo State.

The empowerment programme, held in collaboration with the Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Services (NAQS), featured the distribution of essential utility items to various security agencies, including the Nigeria Police Force, Operation Burst, Department of State Services (DSS), NSCDC and Amotekun Corps, all of whom were duly represented by their respective heads.

Among the items donated were generating sets, Hisense refrigerators, OX standing fans, Nexus water dispensers with Cway water jars, HP multipurpose printing devices, alongside reams of A4 paper, ledgers, and packs of pens — all aimed at enhancing administrative efficiency and welfare within the security formations.

Speaking during the event, Hon. Agboworin noted that the initiative stemmed from his personal experience as a former security personnel in the United States, emphasizing his understanding of the crucial role logistics and welfare play in maintaining effective security operations.

He further called on political appointees and influential personalities to emulate such gestures in supporting the men and women safeguarding lives and property, stressing that community collaboration is vital to sustaining peace and order.

Agboworin lauded the ongoing efforts of Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration in fortifying the state’s security architecture, adding that contributions like his are meant to complement the government’s vision of a safer and more secure Oyo State.

The event well attended by prominent personalities is been described as a first of its kind, reflecting Hon. Agboworin’s consistent commitment to community development and grassroots empowerment within his constituency.
