Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola (SAN) has prescribed techniques for Lagosians to overcome insecurity in the teeming metropolis.
Governor Fashola called on Lagosians to be vigilant and courageous enough to confront any stranger in their community.
He spoke during the commissioning of the Fountain of Life Church’s main auditorium in Illupeju.
“We will overcome the challenge by being vigilant and adaptive. By asking questions of things that are not normal. Things that fail to follow the original conduct of human behaviour. By asking question from people who are strangers in our midst, seeking to know where they came from, and what their purpose was among us”.
He added, “We must no longer keep quiet. I am sure that if we do these simple things, all will be well with us.”
His words, “By our action, we will show that we have voted to live together; to live in peace and to respect one another’s choices. And it is from that respect that we can earn the trust of one another and keep this state together.”
The Governor also called on religious organizations in the country to assist the efforts of government to eradicate poverty, by creating jobs.
