He highlighted the need for enhanced security collaboration as the forthcoming commissioning and official opening of the Bonny–Bodo Road will reshape access to Bonny Island and present new opportunities for the people of Rivers State.

“With increased access to Bonny Island, we need a broader conversation on how to preserve the safety of our people and assets. As long as our operations remain secure and uninterrupted, the benefits will continue to extend across the state and the nation, he said.

In his remarks, Adepoju reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to strengthening its partnership with NLNG, highlighting the company’s strategic importance to Rivers State and the national economy. He assured of the command’s readiness to respond effectively to security concerns through established operational structures.
