YABATECH Donates Patrol Van To Nigeria Police Force

The management of YABA College of Technology (YABATECH) last week donated a brand new four-seater patrol van to the Nigeria Police to improve security of life and property on the campus and its environs.

The rector of the institution, Dr. Margaret Kudirat Ladipo who handed over the vehicle to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, said the gesture was to further boost security on campus and support the Nigeria Police in securing the college.

“YABATECH is located in a very hot spot; but for your support and camaraderie, it would have been pretty difficult securing this campus in view of its situational circumstances.

We thank the Nigerian police for the support in time past. Our appreciation goes to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police and the Inspector General of Police for the assistance in time past.

“This is a federal institution and people come in and go out of the College en-masse on daily basis, yet the College is surrounded by hordes of gangsters from every angle. We thank God for the peace we daily have, and we thank the Nigeria Police too for the support they extend to us”.

Receiving the fully air-conditioned vehicle fitted with siren and police head lamp, the deputy commissioner of police, SCID, Panti, Mr. Abiodun Ogidan, thanked the college on behalf of the IGP, and the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, for the gesture.

“We are happy and challenged he said, This is a peculiar gift because this is the first Corporate Social Responsibility gift the new IGP is receiving. We will let him know that YABATECH has done this for us.”

He promised on behalf of his team of officers from the SCID to continue to support the college.

Last week’s was the second in six months the college would be donating a vehicle to the Nigerian Police, having earlier donated a Toyota Hilux four-seater SUV to the Sabo Police Station.
