Lagos State
Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, on Friday, said the State Government spent over
N15billion last year to beef up security and ensure the safety of lives and
property.
Ambode, who
spoke at a dinner held at the Lagos House in Ikeja, in honour of the Inspector General
of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Idris, who was on a two-day working visit to the state,
said security, being one of the tripods upon which the administration is built,
has improved drastically since he assumed office.
He
attributed the development to the sustainability of the Lagos State Security
Trust Fund (LSSTF), a template, he said has helped to champion funding of
security agencies to carry out effective policing across the State.
Earlier, IGP
Ibrahim Idris said that despite the cosmopolitan nature of the state that makes
policing difficult, officers posted to Lagos were enjoying the very best in
terms of equipment and welfare.
He said the
visit afforded him the opportunity to learn more strategies adopted by the
State Government in the business of securing lives and property.
