Security of life and property is the primary responsibility of any responsible and responsive government. Virtually all organisations, either private or public, seek for an efficient and effective security system that guarantees maximum security of lives and properties. This is in view of the fact that there cannot be any meaningful development in an atmosphere of chaos.
That is why the State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, came up with the T.H.E.M.E.S. Developmental Agenda to confront the numerous challenges in the State with a view to attaining a ‘Greater Lagos’. In line with his commitment to improving the State’s security architecture, Mr. Governor had said at different fora that his government would stop at nothing to provide adequate protection for the residents. He has, thus, prioritized the funding and management of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund , while also paying close attention to the welfare of security personnel for maximum performance.
