The governor of Bayelsa state, Senator Douye Diri, has presented 31 brand new operational vehicles to service commanders of security agencies in the state. 

The formal handover ceremony of the vehicles took place Thursday in Government House, Yenagoa, after the 38th state Security Council meeting. 

Governor Diri said the state government procured the vehicles to enhance the day-to-day operations of the agencies in the fight against crime in the state. 

He said: “It was a recurring decimal during our security council meetings for security commanders to request for vehicular support. Today, we are gladly able to put this to rest. 

“On behalf of your government, I present these 31 operational vehicles to the service commanders. The Nigeria Police has five and one for the commissioner’s office to make it six. The directorate of State Services has four, including that for the state director. 

“The Nigerian Army has three and one for the Brigade Commander. Same for the Nigerian Navy while the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps has three.

“The Nigerian Air Force, Federal Road Safety Commission, National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Nigerian Correctional Services and the Nigeria Immigration Service all have two each.”
