He noted that the Saki West Local Government is replicating the governor’s commitment at the grassroots by providing the necessary support to security agencies operating within the council.
The chairman described officers and men of the Nigerian Army as dedicated personnel who make enormous sacrifices, often putting their lives on the line to defend the nation and protect communities.
He stressed that such sacrifices deserve appreciation, respect and continuous support to enable the military to discharge its constitutional responsibilities effectively.
Hon. Akinola observed that insecurity remains one of Nigeria’s greatest challenges, claiming the lives of many citizens, adding that ensuring the safety of residents and protecting their lives and property remain among the top priorities of his administration.
According to him, the donation of the motorcycles reflects the local government’s determination to strengthen collaboration with security agencies and improve their operational efficiency in maintaining peace and security across Saki West.
Receiving the motorcycles on behalf of the Commanding Officer of the 244 Reconnaissance Battalion, Asabari Barracks, Captain E. O. Fayoyin expressed appreciation to Hon. Akinola and KM Don Mining for their support and commitment to the security architecture of the community.
He assured the chairman and the people of Saki West that the motorcycles would be properly maintained and effectively deployed to enhance security operations throughout the local government area.
