He also commended individuals, corporate organizations, and stakeholders who have consistently contributed to the Fund, stressing that their generosity has made a tangible impact on security outcomes in Lagos. According to him, such collective support sends a strong message of shared responsibility and unity in addressing security challenges.
The governor assured that the new office complex would not only provide a functional and efficient workspace for the Trust Fund but would also stand as a symbol of collaboration between government and the private sector for the common good.
Reaffirming his administration’s commitment, Governor Sanwo-Olu stated that efforts to make Lagos safer and stronger remain ongoing, with security continuing to receive sustained attention and investment across the state.
