It is the belief of His Excellency that Commodore Gbamwuan will use his wealth of experience, national and international connections as well as security expertise to bear on his vision on tackling insecurity in the state.
Governor Alia while congratulating the new appointee charged him to ensure he put the interest of the state first in all his official dealings.
The appointment takes immediate effect.
