Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State has received a donation of N10 million from the Lebanese Nigerian Initiative,LNI, for the State Security Trust Fund, charging the body to continue to do more for the State.

Ambode, who spoke when he received the Chairman and the directors of the LNI through the Secretary to the State Government, Tunji Bello thanked the group for the initiative, saying a lot could still be done for the State in that regard.

According to him, with the business pedigree of each of the members of the LNI, the present administration is deeply appreciative of their contribution which, according to him, is a good initiative.

He said the issue of security cannot be left alone for government to handle and that this was one of the reasons that informed the clarion call to members of the organized private sector to join the State Government in ensuring that the people can sleep with their two eyes closed.

Speaking earlier, the Chairman of the Lebanese Nigerian Initiative,LNI, Faysal El-Khalil said the members of the Lebanese community have been in Nigeria for over a century doing legitimate business.

He said the members are, through the latest gesture, demonstrating a reassurance of their commitment to the determination of the present administration to keep criminals at bay permanently.

El-Khalil said the donation was about how the members of the Lebanese community can give back to the Nigerian and Lagos community which they have been operating for long.

He said in addition to the security initiative, the LNI has also embarked upon a project towards investing in education by creating an endowment fund in the American University in Beirut where specified number of Nigerians would be beneficiaries.
