GOVERNOR Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has signed the state's N450.8 billion 2011 budget into law, promising better welfare for civil servants and improvement of the state's university.

He has also boosted security in the state. Before signing the budget yesterday, Fashola handed over 100 patrol vans and 50 motorbikes to the state's Security Trust Fund (LSSTF), charging security operatives not to use the equipment to torment law-abiding citizens they were to protect.

The patrol vans and other security equipment, if judiciously used, according to Fashola, would ward off criminally minded-people from the state, or they risk being arrested and brought to justice.

He declared that Lagos had been cleared of major security threats that once disturbed night life, saying: "Lagos is now safe on land, water and in the air with the number of patrol vehicles, patrol boats and the two

helicopters acquired for the RRS for effective policing of the state."

But on the occasion of formal signing of the budget, Fashola noted that the state executive and legislature had jointly worked on the budget so that it would have meaningful impact on the people on whose behalf they were elected to serve.

Meanwhile, Lagos State governorship candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) Dr. Abayomi Mumuni, has promised to make the state self-reliant in electricity supply, even as he carpeted Fashola for not doing enough.

Speaking at a press conference in Lagos yesterday, Mumuni said his government would embark on the process of addressing the enormous infrastructural challenges in the state at the same tempo with human capital development if elected into office.

According to him, the incumbent governor has done well but a lot still needs to be done in the state infrastructure.
