During the visits, the police commissioner emphasized the importance of collaboration, intelligence sharing, and coordinated operations among security and public safety agencies in addressing modern security challenges and maintaining peace in Ogun State.
At the FRSC Ogun State Command, CP Ojajuni was received by the Sector Commander, Corps Commander Oludare Ogunjobi, alongside senior officers of the corps.

He described the reforms as progressive and important in reducing repeat offences, noting that rehabilitation remains a key part of sustainable public safety and social stability.
As part of the visits, CP Ojajuni presented copies of The New Dawn, the official newspaper of the Nigeria Police Force, to the heads of both agencies to further promote information sharing and institutional relationships.
The police commissioner appreciated the leadership and personnel of the FRSC and NCoS for their dedication to public safety and national security, stressing that effective policing can only be achieved through strong partnerships and mutual support among relevant agencies.
