The lawmaker representing Ibadan North East/South East Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Abass Adigun (Agboworin), has donated various utility and operational items to security agencies within his constituency, as part of his continuous efforts to strengthen security operations and support frontline officers.
The beneficiaries of the gesture include the Nigeria Police Force, Department of State Services (DSS), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Operation Burst, and Amotekun Corps.
Items distributed during the presentation ceremony held on Thursday include refrigerators, generating sets, printers, water dispensers, industrial fans, and other valuable office and stationery materials.
In his remarks, Hon. Agboworin explained that the initiative was designed to complement the ongoing efforts of Oyo State Governor, His Excellency Engr. Seyi Makinde, in improving the state’s security architecture.

“We need to remember our security agencies. I’m doing this because they are doing a great job and deserve to be encouraged,” he said.
“Having served in the military, I understand the challenges they face. Imagine what could happen if our security agencies went on strike for just a week. This is why I’m urging other politicians with the means to emulate this kind gesture.”
Representing the Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Command, Deputy Commissioner of Operations, Ekanem Usen, commended the lawmaker for his thoughtful intervention, describing it as a timely and valuable contribution.
“We sincerely appreciate Hon. Agboworin for this gesture. He has carried out several empowerment programmes in the past, and this support to the security agencies is another demonstration of his commitment to public service,” Usen said.
“These items are essential for effective operations — before, during, and after field duties.”
Also speaking, the Executive Assistant to the Governor on Security, CP Sunday Odukoya (rtd), lauded the lawmaker for aligning his initiative with the governor’s vision to promote a safer Oyo State.
“What Hon. Agboworin has done today is highly commendable. If others can emulate this effort, insecurity will be reduced to the barest minimum,” he noted.
“This project clearly shows that he shares in the governor’s passion for a secure and peaceful Oyo State.”
Among the beneficiaries were the Oyo State Police Command Headquarters, State DSS Office, Operation Burst, Amotekun, and several divisional and local security offices, including those at Idi-Ape, Agugu, Felele, Idi-Aro, Mapo, and the DSS and NSCDC offices in both Ibadan North East and South East Local Governments.
