Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa says the House will continue to make laws to ensure the safety of lives and property.
He said because of conscious steps by successive administrations since 1999, Lagos remains the relatively safest part of Nigeria.
The speaker stressed that the peace enjoyed by Lagos residents and investors is a result of the passion of those in government to make the state habitable at all times.
His words: “About the safety of lives and property, Lagos remains a shining light, a good example of a government that works for its people. With all the arms of the government working together, we have achieved great feats in the area of security.
“Your representatives at the House of Assembly have never shied away from the task of making our dear state attractive and better for its residents. We have made laws and passed resolutions that have helped in this regard.
“The creation of the Neighbourhood Safety Corps and other related agencies, the anti-kidnapping and the anti-cultism laws which prescribe serious punishments, as well as our review of the criminal justice law of the state, are perfect examples of our resolve to always ensure pro-people activities.
“We are encouraged by the feedback we constantly receive from residents of our state and our colleagues in many parts of Africa. We will continue to make Lagos a success.”
