There are a good number of some positive reports coming from Lagosians about the Lagos State Rescue Units (LRU).

For instance, a Facebook user, identified as Toyin Obasunlaye, shared his LRU experience via the social network.

Read below..

“MY LAGOS STATE EXPERIENCE

I had an experience this morning which changed my orientation towards Lagos State Government and Nigeria at large.

On my way to work this morning, my car broke down (fuel pump issue) on 3rd mainland bridge– just after Iyana Oworo. I was stranded because my mechanic did not come on time. Twenty minutes later, the LRU (Lasema Response Unit ) showed up. In my mind, I was already saying “oh God, this guys will collect all my money today just to tow this vehicle off the bridge”. Surprisingly, they approached me politely and told me that the place is not safe hence, they will have to tow the vehicle to a safer place. I agreed since my options were limited and they towed my vehicle to the police post at middle of 3rd mainland bridge. I requested for my bill and waited for them to exploit me by stating a large amount. Imagine my shock when they informed me the service is free. I was stunned into silence and I thought “can there be any free thing in Lagos?” I deep my hand in the pocket and gave them some token for drinks. Again, they shocked me with their refusal and told me that Gov. Ambode has said any vehicle towed on the bridge must be free hence they cannot collect anything from me. They drove off after that and I could not help but stare at them in stunned silence.

Well, I am not a politician and I am not trying to campaign for anyone. However, if I see something good, I will appreciate it; no matter who is running the government. This is a good one from Lagos State Government and I am also proud of the LRU (Lasema Response Unit ).

If you ever find yourself in a similar situation please call 112, it works.

God bless LASG. Lasema Response Unit”

I know we can get it right in Nigeria someday, we don't need everyone to believe , all we ask is that those that belie should believe strongly and help in anyway way they can.

Ambode remains the best Government in Nigeria, no partiality or favoritism or sentiment. Am just neutral. Argue with your mom.

Thumbs up to them. This unit is very effective. Their response time is very short. I've seen them at work along Lekki Epe Expressway. Before you say Jack Robinson, they are already at the accident point. They merit all the praise people are showering them.

People will make Nigeria work, not government. On a larger scale, the people are the government, forget those in the corridors of power.

Lagos, Nigeria will work if people place national interest above personal interest. LRU team refused to collect even a tip. It shows their respect to professional ethics and making concerted effort to make things work for better. Others are building while some Nigerians relish pulling down.

Pettiness, selfishness, greed, ethnicity are our bane of progress not government.

Lagos ofcourse got class. It's the ideal Nigeria, what Nigeria ought to look like. Unfortunately most other state governments are inhumane, andthecitizens in most of these states are too uneducated to engage government meaningfully.

No sir, the ones on Lekki-Epe expressway are the Lekki Concession Company (LCC) people who own the toll-gates on the express. sad But the LRU people are really working. They have emergency ambulances and paramedics, as well. I saw them bringing in burn victims to the Trauma and Burns Centre in LASUTH at Gbagada, last year. They were courteous, professional and fast, as they brought in the victims on stretchers, and handed them over to the doctors.
