The executive chairman, Lukmon Agbaje, said during the donation on Tuesday that his administration remained committed to strengthening security operations in the area.

Mr Agbaje, represented by his chief of staff, Babatunde Ajose, said the donation of ICT equipment was essential to protecting lives and property.

“The donated items include HP computer systems, UPS units, an HP printer, and a high-capacity Sharp photocopier.

“It also includes a generating set to support uninterrupted operations at the command headquarters.

“This initiative supports law enforcement efforts to safeguard lives and property within Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA,” he said.
