Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is taking a bold step towards a more proactive and comprehensive approach to public safety by integrating alternative security measures into the state’s overall security plan. This innovative initiative signifies a departure from traditional reactive methods, emphasizing technology, community engagement, and data-driven insights to address evolving security threats.
Governor Sanwo-Olu’s security plan recognizes the limitations of simply increasing police presence or building more security infrastructure. He is quietly revolutionizing security delivery in Lagos by creatively deploying alternative security methods for information and intelligence gathering. Notably, this approach has significantly reduced the harassment by “Area Boys,” showcasing the effectiveness of their inclusion in the state’s security network.
Despite efforts to unmask the key individual in charge, he preferred to stay anonymous, emphasizing that Governor Sanwo-Olu is the driving force behind the efforts of ensuring the safety of inner cities, highways, and neighborhoods in Lagos.
