Insecurity : Sanwo-Olu Hands Over 100 Patrol Vehicles To Security Agencies To Fortify Lagos

Insecurity : Governor Sanwo-Olu hands over 100 patrol vehicles to security agencies to fortify Lagos State.

Vehicles jointly procured by the State Government and Conference 57, the association of the chairmen of 20 LG areas and 37 LCDAs.

In line with his administration’s commitment to ‘Security and Governance’, the Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Thursday December 11th 2025 fortified the armoury of the security agencies in the State with 100 new operational vehicles.

Jointly procured by the State Government and Conference 57, the association of the chairmen of 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs), the vehicles were handed over at the 19th Annual Town Hall Meeting on Security with the Governor organised by the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF).

Speaking at the Hall Meeting, Sanwo-Olu harped on the importance of collaboration, saying every investment in security is a direct investment in peace, order and prosperity. He said security cannot be left to the government alone but requires contributions from the private sector, community groups, and every resident of Lagos State.

“This town hall meeting is a reaffirmation of our collective commitment to safeguarding lives, properties, investments and the future of Lagos. It is an affirmation that the security of this state is not solely the responsibility of the government but a shared duty, a covenant between government, the private sector, communities, and every resident of this city.”

“In Lagos, our progress is strengthened by the wider reforms championed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whose Renewed Hope Agenda places security at the center of Nigeria’s economic revitalisation.”

“The President’s commitment to modernising the nation’s security architecture — through enhanced intelligence coordination, improved personnel welfare, better technology integration, and a deeper embrace of community-led security — creates a strong foundation upon which state-level initiatives can thrive.”

“These federal priorities complement the advanced platforms we are deploying in Lagos, making it possible for our agencies to operate with greater efficiency, clarity, and operational synergy. The Lagos State Security Trust Fund itself has become a national reference point for how subnational innovation can reinforce federal policy direction.”

“As the Federal Government intensifies reforms—strengthening internal security frameworks, elevating counter-terrorism capabilities, enhancing maritime security, and accelerating the professionalisation of our armed forces—Lagos stands ready as a model partner. Through the LSSTF, we are demonstrating that security funding can be transparent, collaborative, and impactful.”
