LAGOS STATE COMMISSIONS NEWLY BUILT IMOTA LNSC STATION
The newly built Imota Lagos State Neighborhood Safety Corp (LNSC) Station at Imota LCDA, Lagos, was officially opened by Lagos State Governor Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Thursday. This action was taken in accordance with the administration’s commitment to securing the lives and property of the people of Lagos State, as stated in the Security and Governance pillar of the T.H.E.M.E.S Plus Agenda.
Speaking during the Station’s official commissioning, Sanwo-Olu underlined that protecting Lagos citizens’ lives and property is crucial for the general welfare and advancement of the State. He was accompanied in this statement by State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Lawal Pedro, SAN.
According to him, the Imota LNSC Station, consisting of offices, a mini cell, a store and conveniences, isn’t only essential but also affirms the commitment of the present administration to ensuring the safety and security of lives and properties in the State while serving as a vital hub for the Lagos Neighbourhood Safety Corps (LNSC).
“Commencing in January of this year and reaching completion this February, the Imota Station project underscores our dedication even in the face of economic challenges gripping our nation. The timely execution of this project speaks volumes about our resolve to prioritise the security of the people”, he said.
Mr. Governor emphasized once more that the construction of the Imota Station demonstrates the administration’s commitment to establishing a secure environment for everyone. Security is the cornerstone of any responsible and responsive government.
Sanwo-Olu thanked everyone who attended and commended the LNSC for deliberately choosing officers from their local communities, which embodies a community-based approach to intelligence collection and community policing.
Prior to this, Prince (Dr.) Ifalade Oyekan, the General Manager of LNSC, had spoken. He reaffirmed the Agency’s commitment to fight crime and address other security issues while ensuring that Lagos State is a habitable and safe place for residents of the state.
The General Manager applauded Mr. Governor, the Lagos Attorney General, and important stakeholders for their continued support in bringing the project to reality, while also pointing out that there are two other recently constructed stations located at Ijede and Orile-Agege LCDA. The General Manager cautioned the Officers of the Division to respond by carrying out their mandate as specified by law.
