Sanwo-Olu pledges to keep Lagos safe for residents, businesses

Otedola donates N1 billion to state’s security trust fund

Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, yesterday, said that the state government would be very committed to issues of security, just as it would not spare anything to keep Lagos State safe for residents, visitors and businesses.

The governor, who gave the promise during the official presentation of N1 billion to Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF) by a businessman, Femi Otedola, at the Lagos House in Marina, further said that his administration would be committed to creating economic benefits in communities, as well as improving the environment for opportunities that will bring about better societal engagements. He added that his administration had been creating an atmosphere where people could live and work peacefully.

The governor, therefore, urged other well-meaning residents and corporate businesses to emulate Otedola by donating generously to the security trust fund.

Otedola, who spoke earlier, represented by one of her daughters, Tolani, said that the security trust fund was a public private partnership initiative, which her father had taken an interest in since its creation.

She said that her father had been donating to the trust fund over the years as he believed it would help to improve security architecture in the state.
