The Lagos State government has assured residents of Lagos that the driving force of the Governor Akinwunmi Ambode administration was to ensure the safety of lives and properties of the residents.
Executive Secretary, Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF), Dr. Abdulrazaq Balogun gave the assurance at the presentation of a brand new Hilux vehicle to the Aguda Police Station to aid effective policing of the area.
He said the state government would continue to provide security agencies with the requisite support in areas of logistics, equipment and welfare, to enable them carry out their duties effectively.
“The Lagos State Security Trust Fund and by extension the state government has done a lot and is still doing a lot to ensure that the security and welfare of Lagosians are protected and the thrust of this government under Governor Ambode is to ensure that security of lives and property is given top priority. By so doing, businesses will thrive in Lagos State and there will be more employment. Thus, the state can be more prosperous,” he said.
The Divisional Police Officer (DPO), Barrister Olaniyi Okunribido, said the move was in response to a request by the station.
“It’s just to intervene in the need of a police station. We got a request that the station does not have a patrol vehicle and we all know that it is one of the important tools for policing the environment. This new Hilux vehicle is being donated to the unit to aid their operations,” he said.
