Abiodun explained that the visit was to have firsthand experience of the firm's operations and see areas which his administration could collaborate to give the needed support.

We have seen many companies from different parts of the world, definitely this facility cannot be compared to any others", the governor added 

"I am impressed with what the Chief Executive and his team are doing here. This is a first-class manufacturing company concerned with the solution to the insecurity we are witnessing in recent times across the length and breadth of Nigeria. Everything that is happening here is basically to support the law enforcement architecture of the State", he said.

Abiodun pointed out that his government would go into discussion with the company to provide the joint task force in the State, ‘OP-MESA’ with the needed equipment and logistics to make it carry out its assigned duties effectively.

"Today, Ogun State is one of the safest States in the country and we intend to sustain it. We must understand that there is a nexus between security and illiteracy, unemployment and drug abuse. However, we will ensure that our law enforcement agencies are properly equipped and battle ready to tackle insecurity", the governor assured.
