To relieve the load on the Ondo State Security Network, Ondo State Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has approved the recruitment of 350 people into the Amotekun Corps.
On Tuesday in Akure, Akeredolu made the announcement at an award ceremony hosted by the Ondo State Agribusiness Empowerment Centre (OSAEC).
More operating vehicles and motorbikes would be purchased to aid the corps’ operation in the state, according to Akeredolu.
It became necessary, according to Akeredolu, since the corps had been overworked while guarding farmers in the woods.
“We have agreed to employ 350 personnel into the Amotekun Corps in the state because of the pressure on Amotekun,” the governor stated, noting that agricultural investors were abandoning the state until Amotekun arrived.
“Operational vehicles and motorcycles will be purchased too to ease their work,” he said.
He predicted that Amotekun stations would appear in rural regions shortly because those areas are not on the road but rather in the wilderness.
The governor had previously stated that OSAEC was established to revolutionize the agricultural industry, as farming should no longer be considered a hobby but rather a business.
Despite interventions from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the governor stated that his administration is expanding agriculture in all senatorial districts.
According to Akeredolu, Ondo State contributes almost 45 percent of the tomatoes sold in Lagos marketplaces.
He stated that he is committed to putting Ondo State on the global agriculture map and that he will continue to work with and support essential stakeholders to achieve this goal.
He claimed that the abandoned Okitipupa oil palm plantation had been resurrected as part of his dedication to the red-gold (palm oil) revolution.
Pastor Akin Olotu, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Agriculture and Agricbusinesses, said the award was given to those who have excelled in the sector.
According to Olotu, the state is reaping the benefits of the current government, which took office in February 2017.
Mr. Ayodeji Moradeyo, a recipient of the award and a correspondent for Television Continental (TVC), thanked the agency and the governor of Ondo State for recognizing his hard work.
Moradeyo was named the Most Supportive Media Reporter of the Year 2021, InsightnaijaTV reports
