The Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has applauded Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, for his unwavering commitment to strengthening security operations across the state.

Egbetokun also commended Governor Sanwo-Olu for the donation of one hundred new operational vehicles to the Nigeria Police and other security agencies.

The Police Chief made the commendation when he visited the Governor, after the announcement of one hundred Patrol Vehicles during the 19th Annual Town Hall Meeting on Security, organised by the Lagos State Security Trust Fund, LSSTF.

Governor Sanwo-Olu stated that the vehicles, jointly procured by the Lagos State Government and Conference 57, demonstrate his administration’s renewed dedication to protecting lives, property, and critical investments in Lagos.

He stressed that effective security requires collective responsibility and sustained collaboration between government, security agencies, private sector partners, and the citizenry.

The Governor reaffirmed that the gesture aligns with the Security and Governance pillar of the THEMES+ Agenda, noting that Lagos remains committed to complementing President Bola Tinubu’s national security reforms with state-level innovations.

IGP Egbetokun praised the Lagos State Government and LSSTF for consistently serving as a national model in subnational security support.

He acknowledged that the new patrol vehicles and other interventions will significantly enhance response time, operational mobility, and policing capacity across the state, especially ahead of the high-traffic festive season.

The Town Hall Meeting with the theme “Building Trust, Enhancing Security: A New Era of Security and Partnerships” brought together national and state leaders, security chiefs, captains of industry, and traditional rulers to evaluate progress and strengthen security collaborations.
