The Lagos State government,with funding from the its Lotteries Board, on Tuesday donated a total of 30 power bikes to security agencies operating in the state, in an exercise it said was in line with the commitment of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to boost security and enhance safety of lives and property.<\/p>\n

The power bikes were donated to the Police Command in the state, Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), and the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA).<\/p>\n

Speaking during the hand over ceremony at the Lagos House in Alausa, Ikeja, Governor Ambode reiterated his promise to prioritise the security of residents and ensure that no stone was left unturned to protect the people.<\/p>\n

The governor, who was represented at the event by Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Tunji Bello, said security, being one of the tripod upon which his administration is built, would continue to be accorded its pride of place.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are here once again at the instance of His Excellency, the governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode. If you must recollect last year when we had dinner with the members of the Security Trust Fund, the governor promised that we are going to donate power bikes to security agencies to enhance their job of securing lives and property of residents.<\/p>

\u201cIn fulfillment of that promise, we are here today to hand over to the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF), for onward transmission to security chiefs here present the 30 power bikes donated to them by the state government,\u201d Bello said.<\/p>\n

Speaking before handing over the bikes to security agencies, LSSTF Chairman, Mr. Oye-Hassan Odukale, commended governor Ambode for the donation barely two months after promising to procure more bikes for security agencies, saying that it would go a long way in preventing crimes and enhancing security as well as safety of residents.<\/p>\n

Receiving the power bikes on behalf of security agencies, Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Imohimi Edgal, commended the state government for the donation, saying the bikes would greatly help to meander to pursue criminals, especially those that like operating whenever there is traffic.<\/p>\n

The CP said: \u201cPower bikes are essential for hot pursuits of criminals. Power bikes, in line with visibility clause in community policing, also establishes police and other agencies\u2019 visibilities on our streets and highways. That is how important these 30 power bikes are in fighting crime in Lagos.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
