Gov Abiodun Elevates VIS Officers, Urges Discipline and Commitment

Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, CFR, has approved the promotion of several officers of the Vehicle Inspection Service (VIS) in Ogun East, in recognition of their dedication and service to the state.

The officers were formally decorated at the VIS Zonal Command Office, Ijebu-Ode, where the Zonal Commander, Engr. Ogundele Adewale S., described the exercise as a call to higher responsibility. He explained that the promotion was carried out in line with directives from the State Director of VIS, Engr. Ademehin Adewale.

“Every task assigned must be performed with the best interest of the agency at heart. Your duty is to protect, enhance, and promote the Vehicle Inspection Service in all your engagements,” Ogundele charged.

Engr. Odugbesi Taiwo, Commander of the Ijebu-Igbo Station, reminded the newly decorated officers that the new ranks demanded greater sacrifice. “If you have been giving a hundred percent before, now you must give a hundred and ten. Higher rank comes with higher responsibility and stronger commitment,” he stressed.

In the same vein, the Head of Abigi Area Command, Engr. Adegbite Kehinde, noted that the exercise was a reward for hard work, urging officers to redouble their efforts in service delivery.
