ROSIJI STRENGTHENS SECURITY TIES AS AREA-G COMMANDER VISITS OJOKORO LCDA

In a strategic move to bolster community policing and enhance intergovernmental collaboration, the Executive Chairman of Ojokoro Local Council Development Area, Hon. (Barr.) Oluyemisi Adenike Rosiji, hosted the Area G Police Commander, ACP Veronica Ahme Akpa, during a courtesy visit to the Council Secretariat.

The Chairman, alongside Vice Chairman Hon. Tunde Oyekunle, members of the Ojokoro Legislative Council, and key council officials including Council Manager Mrs. Mojisola Akinola and Heads of Departments, received the delegation with warmth and expressed readiness to deepen partnerships for a safer Ojokoro.

Speaking during the meeting, Hon. Rosiji highlighted the council’s proactive measures in addressing emerging security concerns, with particular emphasis on the growing challenge of youth involvement in substance abuse and illicit drugs.
“Security is not just the absence of crime; it is the presence of systems that prevent it. This visit is timely as we must collectively rise to tackle drug-related issues and channel our youths into more productive paths,” the Chairman affirmed.

ACP Akpa, in her remarks, commended the council for its remarkable strides in community transformation, recalling the locality’s journey from a history of insecurity, gang violence, and armed robbery to its current improved state.

“I am impressed by the substantial progress made over the years. This is a testament to deliberate and impactful governance,” the Commander noted, while assuring sustained police support for the LCDA.

Accompanied by her Administrative Officer, ASP Bolarinde, ACP Akpa also emphasized the importance of intelligence sharing, inter-agency cooperation, and grassroots involvement in policing.
