For Lagos to continuously be a prosperous city, and for foreigners and tourist confidence, the city must not play with security. No tourists or foreigners will like being mobbed by beggars in traffic, or coming out from the restaurant, shop or moving on the road. The state government must rid the streets off these beggars, a mega city can not have beggars everywhere, even in high brow areas. We have KAI, LSNW, and so many other machineries created by the Lagos state government, they should do their jobs.

The state government should know security is imperative, do not allow people build bachas and form their own communities, government should be neutral and treat all people with suspicion, Nigeria has serious security challenges, it pays to be proactive.

There should be serious security on the borders between Lagos and other states, this state has a lot of enemies since inception, we must upgrade the security of Lagos, infiltration of cells of societies, religious centers, and trouble spots, for intelligence gathering is key. The state must stay neutral and above all religions, no man is above the law. This is the only way to guarantee foreigners confidence in the city. Please let us not play politics with security. By now Lagos should not tolerate beggars in the state, these beggars grow up to become security threats. We all witnessed Northern states deporting beggars and street urchins back to their home states, and Fashola too did it, why is this administration turning a blind eye to a security threat. People are being attacked, mob actions and burning of a Lagosian in public.

Intelligence gathering and surveillance is key.

Please we need to be proactive in security.

One thing Sanwo-Olu lacks is that Fashola's strictness when it comes to checkmating influx of criminal elements in Lagos

True talk Sanwo Olu lacks it, though he is a good man, but a governor must be beyond good. Security is imperative in a major city, security presence, response, and security operatives must be proactive.
