The governor proudly announced that the state had experienced four consecutive years without any bank robberies, marking the longest period of such security success in the last two decades.

During the meeting held on Tuesday, Governor Sanwo-Olu attributed this achievement to the continuous review of the state's security architecture and surveillance measures. His Chief Press Secretary, Gboyega Akosile, released a statement capturing the governor's remarks.

In a tweet, Governor Sanwo-Olu celebrated the milestone in security, emphasizing the positive impact of relentless efforts to enhance safety across Lagos State.

The governor expressed gratitude for generous donations, including a significant pledge of N1 billion from Mr. Femi Otedola.

Highlighting specific initiatives, Governor Sanwo-Olu mentioned strengthening the Lagos Neighborhood Safety Corps (LNSC) for enhanced intelligence gathering.
