The Ogun State Police Command and the Federal College of Education, FCE, Abeokuta, have pledged to strengthen collaboration on campus security, crime prevention and youth development.
The partnership was reaffirmed on Tuesday, October 13, when the Commissioner of Police, Bode Ojajuni, received the college’s 7th Provost, Dr Joseph Bankole Filani, and members of his management team during a courtesy visit to the Command Headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta.

He commended the police command for the prevailing peace and security in Ogun State and pledged the college’s continued cooperation.
The meeting brought together members of the police command’s management team and focused on institutional collaboration in community policing, educational development and public safety.
