Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State yesterday listed measures his administration is taking to curtail insecurity in the state.
Sanwo-Olu was a guest on Channels TV where he identified security as the bedrock of any government.
He reiterated that the government was not waiting on anybody before it secures its people, and so it is taking proactive steps to build on the regular security architecture.
He said, “In the last three and half years, we have been supporting all the security architecture in the state.
“We have given over 260 vehicles to the police, and extended similar gestures to other security outfits under the OP MESA arrangement.
“State security is not cheap, and it is not something that we are starting today; we started from day one, ensuring that our security officers are motivated, and have equipment and logistics support.
“We also work with intelligence that we get from the grassroots through the Lagos Neighbourhood Security Corps (LNSC), which we transmit to the appropriate security outfits and they take up action.”
