Vehicles are good, but other support measures should also be in the agenda
Don't worry. All are on the agenda.
Criminals in Lagos will see shege.

Commendable

Other states should do same, while FG ensures police operatives receive good salaries as well

Lagos has more than a dozen vehicle assembly plants. Ikeja alone has like 5. Why should they leave them and go patronise Innoson outside Lagos?

If Innoson wants to sell in Lagos, he should open a plant in Lagos. Those Nissans you see and the Blue pickup trucks are assembled in Lagos.

This is very commendable from Lagos state government
My only problem is after 6 months, you won't see those cars anymore, they will be moving with korope. I have never seen any state government that gave police korope

Seriously! I live and work in Lagos and I still find this hard to believe!

I think 250 vehicles is exaggeration

Prof Soludo your state is almost been overrun by ipobss terrorists yet all you do is speak English and talk of granting them amnesty. Good leadership is far from the East apart of Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State. The rest na scam starting from the only LP Governor in the SE. Kudos Lagos

I have been meaning to ask this question; what happens to the hundreds of vehicles and hardwares and even communication gadgets donated by state governments?

Because after the fanfare and media hype, I keep seeing the police in rickety buses and jalopy pickups, sometimes they do not have vehicles for patrol.

Wetin dey happy to the vehicles wey dem they display for media like this? Dem no dey use the vehicles where we go see dem?

Who for explan this mystery?

Vehicles alone were 250. That's aside Kevlar vests and other items.

Police will still task the public to fuel the vehicle.. dem don curse them walahi
Re: Security: Sanwo-Olu Hands Over 250 Brand New Patrol Vehicles To Police by descarado: 8:08pm On Dec 19, 2024
Every government keep on buying patrol vehicles for police. Seems to like its mandatory now.
No maintainance culture. Some have already become private vehicles. Another four yrs,new govt will buy again.
Re: Security: Sanwo-Olu Hands Over 250 Brand New Patrol Vehicles To Police by DJInfluence: 8:19pm On Dec 19, 2024
What's the point? The Same police that will tell you no fuel in their vehicles. Maybe the state govt should donate a few filling station too.

Not just vehicles, retrain them and put some coins in their pocket else they will be getting it from Lagosians through extortion. I see Top police ogas cornering this vehicles as private properties.

Most of the vehicles are converted to personal use .
The few unlucky ones assigned to stations get used up badly cos there's no provision for maintenance from Abuja. They use the vehicle till it collapses due to no accountability ..they didn't purchase it after all.
They leverage on the Security Votes from states to buy and maintain their equipment and offices, monies budgeted by the FG for Police Matters is swept away and stolen.
That's why the NPF looks haggard and wretched..not the only reason tho.

It's a Shame that Lagos spends a lot of it's Security Votes buying hundreds of vehicles for Nigeria Police Farce every year and nothing to show for it.
Once State Police comes in, funding for Nigeria Police Farce from States Security Votes ends immediately..you'll now see the difference between Federal and State Police

i think its the best way for nigeria....

you dont want to end up in another dasuki situation again....
jonathan meant well but the level of corruption in nigeria is crazy....

let the governors deal with security issues themselves in their individual states....

federal dasukis is dangerous for the whole nigeria....

And funny enough Lagos State is not under any form of terrorism or security threat and they are already proactive about improving Dia state's security. Whereas some states that have security issues won't learn from this and improve Dia security but will be waiting for someone in ABUJA to protect them.

Indeed Lagos is a country within a country
Heard they bought is it 20 police vehicles last week to an entire state grin

[quote author=Lanrelagboi post=133364621]UPDATE: Governor of Lagos State, Mr @jidesanwoolu today handed over 250+ brand new patrol vehicles, hardware, communications gadgets and protective gears to the police to boost security operations in Lagos State.

Today at the Lagos State Security Trust Fund 18th Annual Town Hall Meeting on Security with the Governor.

There's absolutely NO need for that car assembly company from the East of River Niger (that sells exact Chinese knockoffs) to set up a vehicle plant in Lagos. The vehicle market space for assembled cars in Lagos is already saturated for potential security vehicles supplies to the Lagos State government.

Nord Automobiles is already around in the Unilag environs, Nissan, GAC, even the Abayomi Ogundeyin-owned ProForce Defence Industries located in the nearby Ogun State etc is available for more rugged, bullet-proof cars

This is all about state police coming up soon.

Other states will follow suit.

Good stuff.
No, it has nothing to do with state police.
Lagos governors and many other states have been doing this for decades now.

Lagos has its own "state" police different from the FG's.

You mean Lagos state police trust fund just started?

lol
How many police, military, nscdc vehicles do you see in Lagos without "Lagos State Security Trust Fund" written on them?

Una go just dey talk wetin una no sabi
Re: Security: Sanwo-Olu Hands Over 250 Brand New Patrol Vehicles To Police by MadPolitician:
Sanwo Olu has never bought from INNOSON.
Every time he distributes cars to the security agencies, it is full of Japanese or Chinese models.
Close your eyes and imagine the amount of foreign exchange that was squandered just to maintain this sort of primitive disdain of other regions of the country.

In general, this is the biggest problem with Nigeria. Many sectors of trade and busines in this country have been handed over to the Chinese, the Indians or the Lebanese, all in a bid to "teach a lesson" to a particular section of the country. It is shameful.
