The governor commended the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari for being supportive to the security agencies in the country. He also applauded the leadership of the NAF for joining hands with other security agencies during the emerging security challenges in the state and Nigeria at large.

Oyetola said: “I thank President Muhammadu Buhari for approving the establishment of an Air Force Base in Ipetu Ijesa to promptly respond to emerging security challenges in the south western part of the country and for providing necessary support to sustain the operations of the base.
