So, as part of our continued commitment to proactive governance, we visited China to meet with manufacturers of surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft. The goal is to introduce aerial support to complement our ground operations — especially in forested and hard-to-reach areas where criminals sometimes take refuge.

During the visit, we met with officials of CETC Wuhu Diamond Aircraft Manufacturing Company Limited, toured their facility and agreed on maintenance support and pilot training. We also inspected the manufactured aircrafts for Oyo State which will be shipped by mid-November this year.

This marks a new phase in our approach to security. By combining real-time aerial surveillance with intelligence gathered by Amotekun and our traditional institutions, we are building a fully integrated system that can detect, deter, and respond to threats before they escalate.

The relative peace Oyo State enjoys today is a collective achievement — one we will continue to safeguard through foresight, collaboration, and technology. As we expand our partnerships with global innovators, we will also ensure that local professionals, especially our youth, gain the skills and opportunities needed to maintain and operate these systems.

Security remains the bedrock of development. As citizens, let us remain vigilant and remember to always call 615 toll-free to report any security concerns or emergencies. With your continued trust and support, we will keep building a safer, stronger, and more prosperous Oyo State.

Talk to you again soon.
