Ojo said, “Let me use this opportunity to solicit the unflinching support and cooperation of members of the management team and the entire officers and men of Ogun I Command, and our esteemed stakeholders across the border.

“According to the wise saying, “a tree can not make a forest”. I appreciate teamwork and my door is widely open for consultation.

As we witness this transition today, let us reaffirm our collective commitment to the ideals and objectives that define our Command.

Let us pledge to work hand in hand, fostering teamwork, communication, and collaboration at every turn.

“Together, we will overcome challenges, seize opportunities, and continue to uphold the standards of excellence for which the Ogun 1 Area Command is renowned”
