Ade Owolabi writes that it is time for state police
He governs the state that represents a ray of hope in a country plagued with a myriad of ills. Lagos State has remained a shining example in Africa as a federating unit. The smallest state in landmass yet hosting a burgeoning population of almost 25 million.
Despite unjust revenue accruals from the national treasury, the managers of the state under the able leadership of Babajide Sanwo-Olu have not relented in providing infrastructure to enhance livelihoods of millions of Lagos inhabitants.
As the microcosm of Nigeria, the state often bears the burdens of inefficiencies and failed leadership of some states. Mass exodus into Lagos caused by lack of economic opportunities in some states especially crisis-torn regions predisposes Lagos to scores of social ills and insecurity.
