Lagos spent 💰N15bn on security in 1⃣ year – Ambode

The Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, said🔈 his administration spent over 💰N15bn in 2016 to beef up security.

Ambode, who spoke at a dinner held at the Lagos House in Ikeja, in honour of the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, who was on a 2⃣-day working visit to the state, said his government was committed to ensuring safety of lives and properties.

Ambode attributed the development to the sustainability of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund, a template, he said helped to champion funding of security agencies to carry out effective policing across the state.

The governor particularly commended the efforts of a former Inspector General of Police, Musiliu Smith, who was the pioneer chairman of the LSSTF, pointing out that the model he midwifed in 2007 changed the face of security in the state.
