The Commissioner seized the opportunity to plead with the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry to Consider Osun as a priority in their transformational reforms for the Police sector. Which includes giving some of the colleges a facelift and upgrade to allow students have a conducive environment for learning citing the Mobile Police College at ILA Orangun, which used to be a convergence point and training centre for police officers before deployments nationwide.
