He stated that when ongoing efforts to rework the security system are completed, even the Federal Government will copy the state’s template.
This was contained in a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Taiwo Adisa.
Makinde admonished chairmen to step up their game on the issue of security and take responsibility for the security of their domains.
He expressed that though security is the responsibility of everyone in the society, those in government will be held accountable.
Makinde equally charged the chairmen to consider adopting the Security Task Force approach of the state government and to hold regular security meetings and work with the Amotekun, federal security agencies, and the voluntary policing initiative of the state government.
