Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun has declared his administration’s readiness to establish a state police force. He recently made the announcement at a town hall meeting on the 2027 budget and the 2027–2029 Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) for Remo Division, held at the Akarigbo Palace, Sagamu.
Describing it as a critical step towards strengthening security and sustaining the state’s growing economic activities, Abiodun stated that Ogun is prepared to embrace the initiative because the state’s expanding industrial and commercial activities require a more robust security framework.
Dapo added that Amotekun and the So-Safe Corps currently have a combined strength of about 6,000 personnel.
His words, “I am the Chairman of the Governors’ Forum on State Police creation. Ogun State is ready for state police.
To protect the gains we have made, we have continued to strengthen our security architecture by providing them with vehicles, allowances and equipment. We have empowered our Amotekun and increased their recruitment.
We are going to start the implementation of our social investment cash initiative. We are going to transfer cash to our people to cushion the effects of this America-Israel-Iran war.
I am starting that today in Sagamu. I’m going into Ogijo from here. All those who have been generated to benefit will get their alerts today while I’m there. I’m going to do the same across Remoland and of course, the whole state.
Remoland is not on the sidelines of these developments. You are right in the middle of it. You are a participant and a contributor to this economic improvement.
As we commence preparation for the 2027 budget within the 2027–2029 Medium Term Expenditure Framework, this town hall meeting provides the opportunity to share the policies, programmes and projects that would be embarked upon next year.”
