The workshop, themed “Enhancing Security and Safety Strategies for Special Marshals’ Operations”, equipped participants with modern knowledge and discipline.
According to Ibitoye, special marshals remain a vital part of the corps, saying, “You can’t give what you don’t have, so this training is important for special marshals to know what to do and do it better.”
He urged marshals to intensify road safety advocacy, enforcement, and public awareness across the state.
The Special Marshals State Coordinator, Mr Oladeji Adebayo, said the training would help participants improve their operations. “Together, let us strengthen our strategies to protect lives and properties,” he said.
