…Initiative Earns Praise from Lagos Commissioner of Police

Security infrastructure in Ojokoro LCDA received a major boost on Tuesday as the Executive Chairman, Hon. (Barr.) Oluyemisi Adenike Rosiji, rolled out five new patrol vehicles to enhance security operations across the council area.

The presentation, which took place at the council secretariat on December 9, 2025, saw four vehicles allocated to divisional police headquarters in the LCDA, while the Lagos Neighborhood Safety Corps (LNSC) received one. The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Moshood Jimoh, was present to witness the handover.

Hon. Rosiji, who has consistently emphasized safety as a core priority of her administration, explained that the gesture was aimed at deepening security networks and improving the capacity of officers keeping the community safe.

According to her, no development initiative can thrive without a secure environment, stressing that the vehicles would significantly improve surveillance, visibility policing, and emergency response across Ojokoro.

The Chairman expressed appreciation to CP Olohundare for supporting the council’s security vision with his presence, noting that such collaboration reinforces the strong partnership between the Police and Ojokoro LCDA.

In his response, the Commissioner of Police commended Hon. Rosiji’s leadership, noting that the scale and quality of the vehicles provided place Ojokoro among the leading councils supporting grassroots security in Lagos.

He assured residents that the patrol vehicles would be used strictly within Ojokoro and not reassigned elsewhere, adding that the LCDA’s relative peace is a testament to the productive synergy between the council and security agencies.

Speaking on behalf of the beneficiary divisions, the DPO of Ojokoro Division, CSP Ayeromu, applauded the council chairman for the intervention. He pledged that the vehicles would be used effectively to secure the LCDA.

In a vote of thanks, the Council Vice Chairman, Hon. Tunde Oyekunle, urged continued support from residents and reaffirmed the administration’s resolve to deliver impactful governance.

The event attracted traditional rulers, political leaders, CDC and CDA executives, security officials, and residents who hailed the council chairman’s initiative as timely especially as the yuletide season approaches.

In a strategic move to bolster community policing and enhance intergovernmental collaboration, the Executive Chairman of Ojokoro Local Council Development Area, Hon. (Barr.) Oluyemisi Adenike Rosiji, hosted the Area G Police Commander, ACP Veronica Ahme Akpa, during a courtesy visit to the Council Secretariat.

The Chairman, alongside Vice Chairman Hon. Tunde Oyekunle, members of the Ojokoro Legislative Council, and key council officials including Council Manager Mrs. Mojisola Akinola and Heads of Departments, received the delegation with warmth and expressed readiness to deepen partnerships for a safer Ojokoro.

Speaking during the meeting, Hon. Rosiji highlighted the council’s proactive measures in addressing emerging security concerns, with particular emphasis on the growing challenge of youth involvement in substance abuse and illicit drugs.
“Security is not just the absence of crime; it is the presence of systems that prevent it. This visit is timely as we must collectively rise to tackle drug-related issues and channel our youths into more productive paths,” the Chairman affirmed.

ACP Akpa, in her remarks, commended the council for its remarkable strides in community transformation, recalling the locality’s journey from a history of insecurity, gang violence, and armed robbery to its current improved state.
