The Lagos State Government has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring the safety of lives and property across the state while calling on residents to embrace patience and orderliness in public and private spaces.
The Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Barrister ‘Bimbola Salu-Hundeyin, made this statement during a quarterly meeting with the leadership of the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) and Heads of Paramilitary Agencies in Lagos State, held recently at her office in Alausa, Ikeja.
Salu-Hundeyin highlighted the “S” pillar of Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu’s T.H.E.M.E.S Plus Developmental Agenda, which underscores the administration’s priority on security and governance. She noted that Governor Sanwo-Olu’s leadership has consistently invested in strategies to strengthen the state’s security framework.
The SSG encouraged security and paramilitary personnel to adopt innovative measures to enhance their operations, urging them to maintain Lagos’s reputation as a safe and secure state. She also emphasised the importance of civility among residents to prevent avoidable incidents, especially during activities such as the distribution of palliatives.
She stated, “Our security agencies must continuously innovate to keep Lagos at the forefront of safety in Africa. Cooperation and responsiveness are essential, and we expect all stakeholders to work collaboratively to achieve this.”
Commending the PCRC and Paramilitary Agencies agencies for their dedication to community safety, Salu-Hundeyin praised their efforts while reminding them that achieving greater results requires sustained hard work and commitment.
Similarly, the SSG has also engaged with Secretaries of Local Government Areas and Local Council Development Areas (Scribes 57) on the recently concluded 88 Regular Recruits Intake Screening Exercise by the Nigerian Army. She urged them to take future exercises seriously, emphasising the importance of inclusive governance and collective progress in the state.
On palliative distribution during the festive season, Salu-Hundeyin urged all involved, including security agencies and local councils, to strictly adhere to state government guidelines to ensure orderly and equitable distribution.
She advised residents, “The yuletide season is a time of joy and celebration. Let us approach it responsibly to preserve the essence of the season. By practising patience, civility, and fairness, we can ensure that resources are distributed efficiently and equitably.”
Key strategies for palliative distribution include effective crowd categorization, door-to-door delivery, and the active involvement of security personnel to maintain order.
