Lagos To Purchase 3 Helicopters To Battle Crime And Tackle Traffic.

Lagos State governor, Akinwunmi Ambode said that
his administration has concluded plans to purchase
three helicopters next month to enable security
agencies tackle criminal activities from the air as
well assist in monitoring traffic gridlock to ease
movement across the metropolis.

Ambode made the disclosure while speaking as a
guest on a popular radio programme, Soni Irabor
Live (SIL) on Inspiration FM.

He said he was deeply concerned about the increased
spate of robbery incidents in some areas of the state,
expressing optimism that the helicopters will go a
long way to aid security and traffic surveillance in the
state. He appealed to residents in the state to join
hands with his government to make it successful.

“We are in this together, all Lagosians. It is your
government; you put me there; I’m your servant and
I’m ready for criticism. I’m listening and I believe
strongly that you have a say in this government because
it is an inclusive government. No matter where you
come from, no matter your creed or colour, this is your
government. I appeal that Lagosians should join hands
with me; tolerate whatever it is that you are seeing
and make sure that you also carry out your own civic
obligations. Pay your taxes because it is the only way
that Lagos can grow and you know, the bottom line
is this, we all need to work together to achieve a
safer Lagos; a cleaner Lagos; and a more prosperous
Lagos and that is what all of us are going to do,”
He said.
