Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde has urged the Nigerian Military to improve its security architecture in 2025 in its efforts to combat terrorism, kidnapping, armed banditry, and other security threats that could hinder the country’s economic development.

The Governor made this call during the closing ceremony of the 2024 Base Sociocultural Activities (BASA) and Veterans’ Parley of the 655 Nigerian Air Force Station in Ibadan.

Represented by the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Prince Dotun Oyelade, Governor Makinde reflected on 2024 as a successful year, expressing appreciation for the military’s pivotal role in maintaining peace and security in the state throughout the year.

He reaffirmed the Oyo State government’s commitment to providing necessary support to ensure the safety of lives and property in the region.

In his address, the Commander of the 655 Nigerian Air Force Station, Air Commodore George Akinyimika, expressed gratitude to Governor Makinde for his ongoing support of military activities. He recognised the strong collaboration between the Nigerian Air Force, the Oyo State Government, the Nigerian Army, and other security agencies.
