We Will Construct The Permanent Site Of The Police Mobile Force Squadron (PMF 72) At Ago Are And Increase The Number Of Police Mobile Force Squadrons In Oyo State From Two To Five Within Four Years Of Our Tenure.

A critical component of Governor Seyi Makinde's second-term security agenda was a significant enhancement of the state's tactical police capacity. The administration made a specific, two-part promise- to construct the permanent site of the Police Mobile Force (PMF) Squadron 72 at Ago-Are and to increase the total number of PMF Squadrons in Oyo State from two to five within four years. The report of an inauguration suggests the squadron has become operational, but it does not explicitly confirm that the permanent, constructed site is complete. It is possible the squadron has been inaugurated at a temporary facility while construction continues, meaning this specific aspect may still be ongoing.

Governor Makinde's promise regarding the Police Mobile Force has seen tangible and praiseworthy progress with the inauguration of the PMF 72 Squadron in Ago-Are. This constitutes a major down payment on the broader pledge and is a significant achievement for community security in the Oke-Ogun region. However, the promise can only be considered fully delivered once the permanent construction at Ago-Are is confirmed as complete and the administration successfully establishes the two additional squadrons required to meet the target of five. The first-year success provides a strong foundation of credibility, but consistent effort over the remaining tenure will be essential to fully realize this critical security enhancement for Oyo State.
