We'll neutralize kidnappers on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway - Abiodun

Abiodun who made this avowal when he hosted the management of the Leadership Newspapers in his office, equally disclosed that the state in conjunction with its Oyo State counterpart has set up a joint security team to beef up security along the expressway.

“We set up a joint security team with the Oyo State Government because we found out that the majority of this incidences are right at the border between us and Oyo State, they take advantage of that area as a blind spot. “We’ve also gone ahead and cleared both sides of the road, because that element of surprise that they introduce when they just jump out of the bushes and then kidnap and run away, so, we have approached our contractors to clear 50 meters on each side so it makes it difficult for them to use the bushes to hide,” Abiodun stated.

Abiodun while noting that his administration currently has the biggest footprint of any TechHub in the country with partnerships from different multinational companies, disclosed that his administration is laying an ambitious digital infrastructure project of about 5,000 kilometers across the state. “Once every year, the Board will meet and determine without consulting anybody. And before Leadership chooses you as the Governor of the Year, we didn’t call you or any member of your team, we sent people out, we did our research, we do it as a matter of conscience and duty to the society,” he said.

“We regard you not as a professional politician, but as a professional in politics and we have seen clearly from your term of office in the last three and half years, accounts have shown in the things you have done, in the face of extreme provocation, you have remained calm and focused,” he said.

The earlier the better. More action, less talk will be preferable.
