It would cost the Lagos State
Government 51billion Naira to
effectively tackle the challenge
of insecurity in the state. This is the view of the State
Governor, Babatunde Fashola,
who was at the Lagos State 7th
Town Hall Meeting with the
theme ‘Sustaining Local
Responses to Rising National Security Challenges’. “If we have to patrol every
street in Lagos where we have
a minimum of about 30,001
roads, we will require at least
45billion Naira to put one
patrol vehicle on every street.” He says that if more people
contribute to the state’s
Security Trust Fund and the
Federal Government invests
more in that area, security will
be effectively tackled. “No matter how little your
contribution, I assure that it
will always inspire us to
continue this journey to rid our
communities of criminals.” The State Commissioner of
Police, Umar Manko, added that
the contribution to the trust
fund has so far yielded good
results. He said that between
November 2012 and October 2013, 472 armed robbers have
been arrested, 390 arms and
16,034 ammunition have been
recovered, while 919 vehicles
have been recovered. At the end of the meeting, 37
Police officers were presented
with awards for their act of
leadership and bravery in
fighting crime in the state.

So how much will the entire country Nigeria need if only Lagos needs 51b Naira?

Patrol vehicles on each street is not the wisest solution, it is emergency rescue support services that needs improvement, Fashola should do what is best and self sustainable, otherwise, you will be amazed how govt. structures collapse in a twinkle

Tax them na
