The company also acknowledged the efforts of:
- Security Agencies: Whose coordinated response was instrumental in the release of the affected staff.
- The Remoland Community: For their support and concern throughout the crisis.
- State Governments: Specifically the Ogun and Oyo State governments for their involvement and prayers.
Commitment to Safety
While celebrating the safe return, IBEDC management emphasized its dedication to the protection of its workforce. The company stated it would continue to strengthen operational and security measures to ensure employees can carry out their duties without fear of further attacks.
