The Ogun State Police Command has organized a security stakeholders' workshop scheduled for September 22-23, 2026, ahead of the 2027 general elections to promote adequate participation and a credible election process. The event, themed 'Elections, Community Mobilisation, The Law and The Media,' will focus on inter-agency respect, cooperation, coordination, community engagement, professional conduct, and accountability by all stakeholders.
Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun is expected to declare the workshop open and deliver a keynote address. Attendees include representatives of political parties, Divisional Police Officers, Zonal and Area Commanders, representatives of Police Community Relations Committees, the State Independent Electoral Commission, and the Directorate of State Security Service.
The 1999 Constitution, Electoral Act, and Police Act empower various stakeholders with responsibilities during elections; however, a lack of knowledge about these roles often leads to issues that affect the credibility of elections. Dr Bolu Folayan, the workshop's Executive Consultant, hopes that improved knowledge in law, inter-agency cooperation, media, and community relations will lead to successful elections.
The workshop aims to sign the 'Responsive and Responsible Professionalism Charter' by all stakeholders.
