Speaking on Friday, Ekundayo hosted leaders from the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Ogun State Council, at the command headquarters in Owu-Dekudu, Abeokuta.\n\nEkundayo described the media as an indispensable partner in security management and national development. She noted that protecting infrastructure such as power grids, petroleum pipelines, and telecoms facilities requires public cooperation supported by responsible reportage.\n\nThe Commandant emphasized that effective security management involves strategic communication, civic engagement, and the sharing of verified intelligence.
