Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has presented 31 brand new operational vehicles to service commanders of security agencies in the state. The formal handover ceremony took place on Thursday in Government House, Yenagoa, after the 38th state security council meeting. Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Alabrah, disclosed in a statement that Governor Diri said the state government procured the vehicles to enhance the day-to-day operations of the agencies in the fight against crime in the state. Daniel Alabrah further quoted Governor Diri as saying, “It was a recurring decimal during our security council meetings for security commanders to request for vehicular support. Today, we are gladly able to put this to rest.” The vehicle distribution breakdown includes six vehicles for the Nigeria Police Force, with one allocated to the Commissioner’s office. The Directorate of State Services received four vehicles, including one for the State Director. Both the Nigerian Army and Nigerian Navy got four vehicles each, including one for the Brigade Commander. The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps received three vehicles, while the Nigerian Air Force, Federal Road Safety Commission, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Nigerian Correctional Services, and Nigeria Immigration Service each got two vehicles. Daniel Alabrah also quoted Governor Diri as charging the service commanders to redouble their efforts in tackling crime and ensure good maintenance of the vehicles. “Let’s work together to deepen the rule of law and governance in the state,” Diri emphasized. On behalf of the security agencies, Commissioner of Police, Mr. Sunday Idu, appreciated Governor Diri’s gesture, saying it would accelerate their efforts and boost their capacity to fight crime. Mr. Idu assured the governor that the security agencies would collaborate with the state government to deepen the rule of law and governance in the state.
