In his remarks, CP Lawal expressed gratitude for the warm reception and pledged to uphold the vision and mission of the Nigeria Police Force. He revealed that he had already begun rolling out strategic plans aimed at consolidating the achievements of his predecessor and tackling emerging security challenges across the state, especially in vulnerable rural and riverine communities.
“I am fully committed to building on the successes of those before me. I have keyed into the Inspector General’s policing vision and will lead the Command with professionalism, dedication, and a clear focus on results,” CP Lawal assured.
The visit symbolized a renewed spirit of synergy between the State Command and the Zonal leadership, with both parties reiterating their shared resolve to maintain law and order and improve safety for residents of Ondo State.
