Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode yesterday reiterated his administration’s commitment to security of lives and properties of Lagosians, saying his government will judiciously utilise the resources garnered from the people for the overall well-being of the state.
Ambode, who spoke at the Ninth Town Hall Meeting on Security organised by the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF) with the theme: “Refreshing Our Security Model,” in Lagos said, his commitment to the safety of the people is unwavering and non-negotiable.
The governor, who had earlier inaugurated the board of LSSTF, emphasised that his administration would continue to make Lagos safe and secure only for law abiding citizens.
According to him, the town hall meeting was put together as part of efforts to continually create a platform for generation of ideas and solutions to confront security challenges facing the state and to reassure the security agencies of the commitment of government to ensure their success.
The governor said N4.8 billion that was recently used to equip the police came from tax payers, assuring that under his administration, such funds generated from the public will be accounted for and utilised to safeguard the lives of those who have chosen the state as home.
“What we have done in the last two weeks, that totaled N4.8billion, actually there is no kobo out of it that came from the Security Trust Fund, it actually came from all of you here, because there is nothing called government money, it is actually tax payers’ money.“
