Insecurity: Lagos Donates 100 Vehicles To Security Agencies

…As Sanwo-Olu Urges Nigerians To Re-Strategise Approach To Tackling Security Challenges

The Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Thursday urged all Nigerians, particularly the residents of the State to re-strategise and find a lasting solution to the country’s security challenges, noting that security of lives and property is a shared responsibility of government and the citizens.

Governor Sanwo-Olu, also reaffirmed his administration's commitment to safeguarding the lives, property, investments and the future of Lagos and expressed readiness to collaborate and support the Federal Government and other relevant security agencies to achieve a crime-free society.

Governor Sanwo-Olu spoke at the 19th Annual Town Hall Meeting on Security with the Governor with the theme "Building Trust, Enhancing Security: A New Era of Security and Partnerships" held at Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The Town Hall Meeting organised by the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF) was attended by the Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa; serving and former public office holders; captains of industry; traditional, religious and political leaders; heads of security agencies and security personnel; and others.

The Governor, in line with his administration's commitment to 'Security and Governance', which is the sixth pillar of the THEMES+ Agenda, donated 100 operational vehicles to security agencies in the State to boost their operations in the State.

The vehicles were jointly procured by the Lagos State Government and Conference 57, the association of the chairmen of 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the State.

Governor Sanwo-Olu also announced a plan by renowned philanthropist, Sir Kensington Adebutu to build a brand-new purpose-built headquarters for LSSTF, which will be completed and commissioned within 12 months. He expressed gratitude to Adebutu for his plan to build the LSSTF Building, which he described as a landmark contribution to Lagos’ long-term security infrastructure.

Governor Sanwo-Olu further 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.

He said: "This year's theme — “Building Trust, Enhancing Security: A New Era of Security and Partnerships” — reflects the very philosophy of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund and the direction of our administration. It speaks to the foundation upon which security thrives: trust in institutions, confidence in leadership, and shared responsibility between government and the people.

"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."

Governor Sanwo-Olu also outlined key priorities for the state’s security strategy, which are Sustainability through public-private partnership and citizens' participation, Continuous modernisation and technological adaptation, Institutional coordination and intelligence-led policing, Transparency, accountability and public trust, Inclusiveness, community engagement and citizen empowerment, and Preparedness for emerging challenges and long-term vision.

He also commended the immediate past Executive Secretary of LSSTF, Dr Abdulrrazaq Balogun, for his remarkable service to Lagos State. The Governor introduced the newly appointed members of the Board of Trustees of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund.

Speaking earlier, the Executive Secretary of LSSTF, Dr Ayodele Ogunsan, said Lagos has remained secure due to the huge investment of Governor Sanwo-Olu in the security architecture of the State.

He also highlighted the achievements of the Trust Fund in the year under review, to include the acquisition of security vehicles, infrastructure and human capacity building, among others.

"Since its establishment in 2007, the LSSTF has remained a critical intervention mechanism designed to strengthen the operational capacities in Lagos State. Supported by the Lagos State Government, local governments, LCDAs, and the generous contributions of private sector organisations and individuals, the Fund continues to bridge long-standing capacity gaps affecting federal security agencies operating in Lagos," he said.

In his address, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of LSSTF, Mr Kehinde Durosimi-Etti, commended the donors, saying trust is essential in providing strong security, with a call on other well-meaning individuals, corporate organisations, the private sector, students, and youths to join hands and contribute to the Fund to ensure adequate security not only in Lagos but in the country as a whole.

Giving security reports between October 2024 and September this year, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Jimoh Olohundare, said the security architecture put in place in Lagos is second to none.

He said the security agencies are fully prepared for the ember months, noting that Lagos State is safe and secured for Detty December.

The Commissioner of Police disclosed that 141 cases of armed robbery incidents were foiled and 142 murder cases recorded, with 9275 miscreants arrested and charged in court, while 518 pieces of ammunition were recovered, among other crimes.

The highpoint of the event was the presentation of the Awards of Gallantry to the Commissioner of Police Special Squad One for foiling a kidnap case and neutralisation of nine kidnappers with the recovery of weapons in the Ladipo area of Lagos in July last year.

The officers were commended by Governor Sanwo-Olu and others for their professionalism, and they were encouraged to remain consistent, transparent, and compassionate in their duties.

SANWO-OLU TO INVESTORS: “TAKE ADVANTAGE OF LAGOS IMPROVING BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT”

As Lagos, Taraba Governors commission TY Logistics Park in Alaro City

The Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has encouraged investors to take advantage of the state’s improving business environment, noting that Lagos currently leads the national ease of doing business rankings.

He said Lagos has been ranked Nigeria's number one investment destination in the latest Subnational Ease of Doing Business report with 85.6 per cent by the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC), which showed that the State is the best place to invest in Nigeria.

Governor Sanwo-Olu spoke on Monday at the official unveiling of the new TY Logistics Park, FZE, a state-of-the-art trade and warehousing complex located in the Alaro City, Lagos, marking a significant boost to Nigeria’s logistics and supply chain infrastructure.

The facility, commissioned by Governor Sanwo-Olu in the company of Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State, is a 29,000-square-metre purpose-built logistics hub equipped with advanced warehouse management systems. It would enhance the movement of goods across Nigeria and West Africa.

Speaking at the event, Governor Sanwo-Olu applauded TY Holdings for its continued corporate responsibility and investment confidence in Lagos and described the project as a development that would permanently sit in the economic story of Lagos and Nigeria.

He said the project reflects the transformation of Alaro City into one of Sub-Saharan Africa’s preferred industrial destinations and aligns with Lagos’ push to modernise logistics, attract foreign investment and accelerate economic growth.

Governor Sanwo-Olu also highlighted ongoing infrastructure projects supporting trade within the Lekki industrial corridor, including plans for a road linking Lekki Port, Dangote Refinery and Alaro City, aimed at reducing traffic on Lekki Expressway.

He said Lagos is currently building the largest food logistics hub in West Africa and expanding critical infrastructure to support businesses around the Lekki industrial corridor.

Speaking earlier, Governor Kefas commended the initiative and expressed pride in his state’s participation, describing the project as a deliberate effort to advance development and economic progress in Nigeria.

He said the project strengthens ties between Taraba and Lagos, especially in ongoing partnerships to move agricultural produce from Taraba to Lagos markets and processing hubs

In his address, the Chairman of TY Logistics Park, Theopilous Danjuma Jr, said the vision for the project began four years ago when his father, Lt General Theophilus Danjuma (retired), approved investment into the land, with a goal to build a modern logistics solution that meets international trade standards to support trade across Nigeria and West Africa.

He noted that the facility will provide contract logistics, digitalised warehouse operations, and end-to-end supply chain solutions for electronics, auto parts, pharmaceuticals, fashion and other sectors.

The unveiling ceremony was attended by renowned billionaire and retired Army Lt General Theopilous Danjuma, his wife, Senator Daisy Danjuma, traditional rulers, religious and political leaders, diplomats, industrial leaders and executives from Alaro City and the Lekki Free Zone, among others.

Other dignitaries at the funeral of the grandson of the late sage and former Premier of the Western Region, Obafemi Awolowo, were former Senate President Bukola Saraki and his wife, Toyin; former Governors James Ibori (Delta), Adeniyi Adebayo (Ekiti), and Gbenga Daniel (Ogun); current and former public office holders; and other eminent Nigerians.

The service was held at Our Saviour's Church, Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, and was presided over by the Diocesan Bishop of Lagos, Anglican Communion, Church of Nigeria, The Rt. Revd Ifedola Okupevi.

Speaking at the event attended by many Anglican bishops and priests, traditional and religious leaders, politicians, captains of industry, entrepreneurs, as well as family, friends and associates of the deceased, President Tinubu, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, said the late Olusegun Awolowo served Nigeria with exceptional passion and unending dedication.

He said, "Segun served Nigeria with an exceptional passion and unending dedication. From his earliest days as a Special Assistant to the President, through his distinguished tenure as Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council, he pursued his objectives with discipline and purpose and achieved real success for our country.

"His latter service as Secretary of the National Committee for the African Continental Free Trade Area underscored his belief in a future for Nigeria and Africa built on trade, collaboration and shared prosperity. He was a family man, a kind and gentle man who spoke to people's hearts just as well as he did to their minds."

President Tinubu prayed that God will give the widow, children, friends and family of the deceased, particularly the mother, Hajia Abba Folawiyo, the grace to bear the loss and "to remember Segun as he was, a good man who lived well."

Speaking at the event, Governor Sanwo-Olu, in his glowing tributes to the deceased, said, "He worked with quiet dignity and unwavering conviction and had an uncommon devotion and dedication to the Nigerian dream. We gather to honour our father, brother, grandfather, friend and a true Nigerian.

Our friend and brother, Olusegun, was not just a public figure. He was a bridge between history and the future, between ideal and action, and between his illustrious lineage and the ordinary people that he truly cared for.

"We grew up knowing the real Awolowo family, of which our friend and brother stood tall. But if you also recall in that lineage, Segun Awolowo was not just outstanding; he was indeed a true icon coming from that name."

Governor Sanwo-Olu sympathised with the late Olusegun Awolowo's widow, Adebola, as well as the children, family members, friends and associates of the deceased, who died at the age of 62 years old on November 20.

LAGOS TO PROCURE 100 NEW CNG COMPACTOR TRUCKS NEXT YEAR-LAWMA MD
…. As State commits to a 10 Year Development Plan to replace old compactor trucks

As part of measures to ensure a cleaner city, the Lagos State Government is committed to a 10 year development plan under which 100 new CNG compactor trucks would be procured for use next year.

This plan was disclosed by the Managing Director of the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) Dr Muyiwa Gbadegesin on Wednesday during a media parley at Alausa Ikeja, adding that subsequently, the state would be introducing between 200 to 250 new trucks every year.

According to him: “To keep Lagos clean. We still need compactor trucks. Altogether, we need about 2000 trucks. 1000 for day to day fleet and 1000 for back up”

“This is a long term investment package that would be supported by a state wide billing system. We will undertake Enumeration of every household and billing by the state government. Through automation, You will now get a bill from the state government. When you pay and once we confirm that the PSP operators has done the job. We pay them”.

Gbadegesin reiterated that what LAWMA is working towards is to have transparency and accountability in the system. “We believe that lagos residents are ready to pay for waste collection if they will get good service and that is what we will ensure going forward”.

He also stated that as part of measures to sanitize the waste collection and disposal system and ensure standards, the agency has terminated the contract of about 22 PSP waste operators for under performance this year and has gone ahead to give the slot to new ones that are ready to do business.

He announced plans by the State to acquire 500 mobile compactor tricycles by the middle of next year to address the surging wage burden.

The MD said this had become imperative because many areas are very difficult to reach because of the narrowness of the roads and the inaccessibility of some.

In his words: “Currently we are running this system in Ibeju Lekki. The chairman of Ibeju Lekki Sesan Olowa came to us about a year ago that the PSP operators in the area are not going into the communities and that he wants to introduce tricycle compactors”

“Around the same time, we got information about an entrepreneur who just brought in tricycle compactors. So we adviced that both parties can collaborate and today they have been running that system so well and the people have embraced it I Ineku-Lekki.

“We have now decided we can replicate this in other parts of Lagos We had a meeting with all Local Governments recently where they all pledged to support the new system”

He reiterated that the adoption of the new mobile compactor tricycle can also absorb some of the cart pushers to use this system. “The PSP operators can buy some, engage cart pushers aand put them on salary. We can now have a more efficient system for lagos”

Gbadegesin reaffirmed his agency’s commitment to maintaining a cleaner environment, urging residents to stop dumping refuse roads and in canals, warning that caught disposing refuse in drainage channels and unauthorized places will contend with the provision of the State sanitation laws

He advised all residents to embrace waste separation, adding that we must all stop throwing everything away and start sorting as it is done in advanced countries.

“90 percent of what you throw away has value. We must start sorting that waste, collecting it and giving it to those who are in need of it. Waste to wealth is the key to the survival of lagos. When you go to Olusosun and solous 3, you will see it”, he stressed.

Said he: “In lagos we must move to a point where we ban landfill sites and that is what we are moving towards as a state government. We have commenced the process of decommissioning Olusosun and Soluos 3 within the next 18 months. We have already gone into two months out of that 18 months. Just give us an allowance for plus or minus. We are committed to decommissioning them”

Obasanjo, the Statesman We Love; the Ex-President Who Relishes Publicly Shaming His Successors

By Olabode Opeseitan

When Bola Ahmed Tinubu assumed the presidency in May 2023, Nigeria was not merely in distress, it was in free fall. Over 97 percent of government revenue, according to the President, was consumed by debt servicing, leaving just 3 percent for capital expenditure.

In 2022 and early 2023, the Budget Office of the Federation reported a debt service-to-revenue ratio ranging from 80 to 96 percent, depending on the quarter. Even if we take the lower end of that range as the best-case scenario, it was still catastrophic.

Governance, from federal to state levels, had been reduced to borrowing to pay salaries.

The economy was shackled by a triad of dysfunctions: a ruinous fuel subsidy, a convoluted multiple exchange rate regime, and outdated economic policies like the Import Prohibition List and archaic excise frameworks that stifled trade and innovation.

Insecurity was metastasizing. The national grid collapsed with ritualistic frequency. And the agricultural sector, once Nigeria’s pride, was faltering. Oil production hovered around 1 million to 1.2 million barrels per day in a mono economy that over relied on black gold to cater to the aspirations of over 230 million people.

THE AGRICULTURAL REALITY

By May 2023, Nigeria’s agricultural sector was not improving. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, agriculture contracted by 0.90 percent in Q1 2023, a sharp decline from the 3.16 percent growth recorded in Q1 2022. Insecurity in food-producing regions, rising input costs, and climate shocks had stunted productivity. Food inflation surged, and the sector’s contribution to GDP was slipping. The land was fertile, but the system was failing.

TINUBU’S GRIT

Yet Tinubu stepped forward. Within minutes of assuming office, he scrapped the fuel subsidy and unified the exchange rate. The market responded with pain. Prices soared. Public anger erupted.

Tinubu later admitted he had “almost run away from watching the news or reading the newspapers” as the backlash intensified.

But slowly, the tide began to turn. Revenue improved. Salaries were paid without borrowing. Infrastructure projects resumed. States once crippled by insolvency began to breathe. Bauchi State, for instance, built a 3,000-capacity event centre, opposite a new government house and invested heavily in health, water, education, roads, and economic empowerment.

Governor Bala Mohammed achieved in two years of his second term what he couldn’t in the previous four. Not because he lacked vision then, but because he lacked the fiscal space to act.

Tinubu’s reforms unlocked dormant dreams, enabling states like Bauchi to build, expand, and serve.

As a private citizen, I watched with a mix of concern and conviction. I saw a leader, imperfect but determined, throw his heart, body, and soul into the job. I chose to support, not with sycophancy, but with constructive engagement.

I celebrate the Tinubu government’s achievements openly but flagged concerning issues discreetly, through a few friends I know in government. To my surprise, over 70 percent were addressed. That responsiveness affirmed a truth: when citizens speak with sincerity, governments can listen.

And when public concern rose, like during the tax reform bill, the government recalibrated, proving that feedback, even when sharp, can be a tool for refinement, not ridicule.

ENTER OBASANJO

Then came General Olusegun Obasanjo, the elder statesman with a gift for timing and a taste for public rebuke. At a Christmas event in Jos, he thundered: “Stop apologising. Stop negotiating. Call for international help.” His remarks came after Tinubu announced sweeping counterterrorism reforms.

This is not new. Obasanjo has publicly criticised every successor, from Shehu Shagari to General Ibrahim Babangida, General Sani Abacha, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, Goodluck Jonathan, Muhammadu Buhari, and now Tinubu. He rarely attends the Tinubu-era Council of State meetings. He could pick up the phone. He could write a private memo. But he chooses the podium. Why?

Is it because his counsel is ignored? Or does he relish the applause more than the impact?

THE MIRROR OF LEGACY

Obasanjo’s own presidency was far from flawless. Despite billions spent, roads like Lagos-Otta, Lagos-Benin, and Lagos-Ibadan remained in disrepair. Electricity was erratic. Bola Ige, a Yoruba icon and serving minister, was assassinated. Justice remains elusive. Airports were substandard. Nigeria’s Corruption Perception Index from 1999 to 2007 ranged from 1.2 to 1.9, keeping the country in the band of very corrupt countries. Though still low, there has been a marginal increase to 2.4 in 2024 under Tinubu.

Insecurity, though less widespread, was vicious. There were significant internal conflicts including communal clashes in the Middle Belt, Niger Delta militancy, religious riots in the north, and the emergence of the Boko Haram group. Yet, he had towering achievements. Charles Soludo, then CBN Governor, said Obasanjo kept him on his toes. The economy grew. Debt was forgiven. But even he did not have all the answers.

Tinubu, by contrast, invited all Nigerians to help when he assumed office, claiming the task at hand required the support of everyone.

Obasanjo scoffed. How golden his latest critique could have been if offered directly to the President and if he had offered to support in any way he could.

Curiously, he ignored whatever modest achievements the military had recorded against terrorists and similarly sidestepped Tinubu’s bold reforms.
Debt servicing ratio has dropped to 39.4 percent. GDP has grown by 4.2 percent. Foreign reserves have risen to $46 billion. The agriculture sector, once in decline, is now showing signs of renewed growth. Infrastructure is being renewed on a scale never before seen.

Shouldn’t the elder statesman commend the progress, even if imperfect, along with the correction?

I do not know how many Nigerians today have the depth of knowledge, local and global connections, military background, and pan-Nigerian cultural grounding of Obasanjo. The totality of his repertoire is what makes him different. It is what makes him special. It is what makes him an unparalleled sage. To withhold that would be a disservice to the motherland. But let me confess upfront, I do not know how much he shares with his successors.

What is certain is that President Obasanjo not only endorsed Peter Obi in the 2023 presidential election, he actively mobilized support for him. But once the election was concluded and Obi did not win, the irreducible minimum expected of an elder statesman was clear: set aside electoral sentiments until the next cycle and focus on building the next generation. That is the duty of those who have seen it all.

LEGACY IN BALANCE

Nigeria doesn’t need elder statesmen who only echo despair. It needs those who balance critique with collaboration. Obasanjo’s legacy is rich. But statesmanship is not just about speaking truth to power, it is about the right measure of whispering only to the ears of his successors, advising, and uplifting.

In a nation gasping for solutions, public shaming may win applause, but quiet counsel builds nations. Let Obasanjo, our former President we treasure and revere so much, remember that.
