Sanwo-Olu donates buses to Lagos ministry of justice
The vehicles were handed over on Thursday through the Lagos State Security Trust Fund, according to a statement by the ministry.
The state attorney general and commissioner for justice, Lawal Pedro, described the donation as a major boost to justice administration in Lagos.
He thanked the governor for the gesture.
Mr Pedro said that two of the buses would be used to convey suspects to and from courts, while an additional two would serve the Special Task Force on Human Trafficking.
“The remaining buses will enhance the mobility of legal teams across Lagos. These buses will ease transportation logistics for prosecutors and legal officers, support timely trial processes, and improve overall operational efficiency,” he said.
The executive secretary of the LSSTF, Abdurrazaq Balogun, said the gesture marked the first direct request by the governor to support the ministry.
He said that it highlighted Mr Sanwo-Olu’s commitment to institutional development and inter-agency collaboration.
“The donation reflects Governor Sanwo-Olu’s resolve to reinforce both the justice and security sectors,” Mr Balogun said.
The controller of corrections in Lagos, George Daramola, thanked the governor. He said the two buses designated for transporting inmates would enhance the safe and timely movement of inmates.
The solicitor-general and permanent secretary in the ministry, Hameed Oyenuga, commended the governor, the attorney general, and LSSTF for the gesture.
He reaffirmed the ministry’s commitment to promoting access to justice. He stated that the vehicles would be deployed strategically to enhance service delivery, particularly in underserved areas.
