According to TrackNews, Obasa gave the assurance in a statement issued on Friday, July 8th by his Chief Press Secretary, Eromosele Ebhomele.
Obama described the state as the relatively safest part of Nigeria in his congratulatory message to Muslims, adding that this achievement was the result of deliberate steps taken by successive governments since 1999.
The Speaker claims that the peace enjoyed by Lagos residents and investors is the result of the government’s desire to make the state habitable at all times.
He said: โIn relation to safety of lives and property, Lagos remains a shinning light, a good example of a government that works for its people. With all the arms of governmeent working together, we have achieved great feats in the area of security.
โYour representatives at the House of Assembly have never shied away from the task of making our dear state attractive and better for its residents. We have made laws and passed resolutions that have helped in this regard.
โThe creation of the Neighborhood Safety Corps and other related agencies, the anti-kidnapping and the anti-cultism laws which prescribe serious punishments as well as our review of the criminal justice law of the State are perfect examples of our resolve to always ensure pro-people activities at the House.
โWe are encouraged by the feedbacks we constantly receive from both residents of our state and our colleagues in many parts of Africa. We will continue to make Lagos a successโ.
