The deputy governor said the constitutional establishment of the Nigerian Legion Corps as an auxiliary arm of the Nigerian Legion would further bring to reality the goal of enhancing the security situation of the country.

He said: “This organisation is ours, well known to the Nigerian Laws, we will make sure that you start well in Ekiti. In education all over the country, we are rated first in the country, in the Nigerian Legion, we must also be rated first.

“We have sons and daughters from Ekiti state who did well in the Nigerian Army, people like Lt.-Col Adekunle Fajuyi (Late), people like Gen. James Oluleye and others.”

The deputy governor charged the Legion Corps to be united and support the executives so as to achieve the aims and objectives of the command.
