Gov Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has said his administration will continue to support security agencies for the safety of residents and visitors.

Sanwo-Olu spoke on Monday when the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Farouk Yahaya made a courtesy visit to him at the State House, Marina.

He said, “We have developed a mechanism in which every agency works in synergy with others to improve the state’s security architecture. We have continued to experience improved security and safety. But there is much that needs to be done and this requires total commitment of our personnel.

“We will continue to give support to the security agencies to ensure not only their safety and that of the residents, but also the safety of visitors coming to do business in Lagos.

“The relationship we have been enjoying between the state government and the entire security agencies, especially the Nigerian army, has been commendable. I acknowledge the leadership role being played by the General Officer Commanding 81 Division with other security agencies in raising the bar of security surveillance, training, information sharing and collaboration in operations.”

Earlier, Yahaya said, “We will do our best to ensure security is enhanced across Lagos and other parts of the country.”
