Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode was represented at the event by Mr Oye Hassan-Odukale, Chairman, Lagos Sate Security Trust Fund (LSSTF).

The governor said at the presentation of the generators at the Lagos House, Ikeja, that security was a major agendum of the administration.

“We know the situation of security in our country today, and we, on our part, need to be proactive to secure the lives and property of the citizens, and make Lagos safe.

“We urge police officers to maintain these generating sets so that they can last longer and serve you well, ” he said.

Earlier, Dr Abdul-Razak Balogun, Executive Secretary, LSSTF, said that the donation was in line with the state Light-Up Lagos Project to ensure that every nook and cranny of the state was well-lit.

“That will give them the confidence that their matters will be properly attended to.

“Power is essential especially in this use of communication gadgets. You cannot communicate properly with field officers if these gadgets are not well-charged,’’ he said.

    This is a wrong step in the right direction.We need power from the mains not more generators.At this stage power from utilities should be readily available.The governor’s idea on lightening up Lagos is hugely welcomed but the course of action is not the best.With more generotors there is more noise and consequently- utter neglect in ensuring that our discos are effective and efficient.We can always take the right steps…
    I must add nice work done on your website,moji..really fascinating!
