In recognition of his selfless and excellent service in combating crime in Ondo State, the United Nations has decorated Alhaji Jimoh Dojumo, the Senior Special Assistant to Ondo State Governor on Security Matters with UN Peace Ambassador Award.

It could be recalled that, the governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has been at the forefront championing the call for end to terrorism, banditry, kidnapping and criminal herdsmen activities in Ondo State and South West Nigeria.
The success so far recorded in the fight against crime in Ondo State was due to the governor’s boldness and appointing capable hands to monitor and lead the security architecture of the state.
Alhaji Jimoh Dojumo, the SSA on Security to the governor in collaboration with other Security agencies were able to checkmate the activities of criminals and made the state uncomfortable for them.
Beaming its search light, the UN found Alhaji Dojumo worthy of the prestigious award.
