Two Nigerian States, Oyo and Kwara hold a joint security meeting to discuss issues of security and the displacement of some residents of Igangan to Kwara State.

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State made this known in his recent post on the social media.

"This afternoon, we held a joint security meeting with His Excellency AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, Governor of Kwara State, heads of security agencies and traditional rulers from both Oyo and Kwara states. We commended the security agencies for their efforts so far and encouraged them to do more.

"We agreed to set up a working team in the next few days for both Oyo and Kwara states to address security issues including the displacement of some residents of Igangan to Kwara State.

"We resolved that the traditional rulers in both states would be involved in our intelligence gathering efforts by disclosing information to the security agencies to enable us stay on top of the security situation.

"We also agreed that we would study the National Livestock Transformation Plan which is already being implemented in Kwara State and take the parts beneficial to us in Oyo State leading to further collaborations between both states on economy and security", he added.
