The Lagos State Government has pledged to ensure the safety and security of residents across the state, calling on citizens to maintain patience and order in public and private spaces.
Eko Hot Blog gathers that this commitment was emphasized during a quarterly meeting between the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Barrister ‘Bimbola Salu-Hundeyin, and the leadership of the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) and Heads of Paramilitary Agencies in Lagos State.
Highlighting the “S” pillar of Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu’s T.H.E.M.E.S Plus Developmental Agenda, Salu-Hundeyin stressed the administration’s dedication to security and governance, which has led to consistent investments in strengthening the state’s security framework.
Encouraging security and paramilitary personnel to adopt innovative measures to enhance their operations, the SSG emphasized the importance of maintaining Lagos’s reputation as a safe and secure state.
She also underscored the significance of civility among residents in preventing avoidable incidents, particularly 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 practicing 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.
