Be more proactive, group urges Ambode

THE Christian Conscience Group on Wednesday urged the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwumi Ambode, to be more proactive in his decisions as regards protection of lives and properties in the state.

The group commended Ambode for providing quality leadership by example in the state by leading the initiative to rescue the three female students abducted by gunmen from Babington Macauley Junior Seminary, lkorodu, last week.

“We commend the Ambode-led government for the strategy already put in place in fighting crimes in

Lagos State, but we want to urge the government to be more proactive by further making available to Lagos residents dedicated telephone lines to call during emergencies and also encourage prompt response by the police and other security agencies.”

The group said this in a statement by its chairman, Chief Enoch Ajiboso, and its national publicity secretary, Mr. Tunji Oguntuase.

The statement read, “It is on record that the Lagos State Government has not only committed huge financial resources in providing state-of- the-art equipment to fight crimes in the state, but has also been providing the right leadership needed to ensure that the equipment is adequately put into use.”
