Shortly after the signing, Governor Makinde warned those with criminal intent to steer clear of Oyo state and the South West region as more efforts would be geared towards reducing crime in the state.

The governor also called for cooperation in ensuring a safer environment to create an investment-friendly place that would guarantee a decent return on investment. 

While appreciating the regular security agencies for their effort at providing security, the governor said the new security network would complement the regular security agencies.
