 BABAJIDE SANWO-OLU FULFILLS PROMISE WITH PRESENTATION OF BUSES TO MOJ


The Lagos State Government has officially presented seven brand-new buses to the Ministry of Justice through the Lagos State Security Trust Fund, fulfilling an earlier commitment made by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to enhance the operational capacity of the Ministry and strengthen justice delivery across the State on Thursday, at the Secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja.


Delivering his remark at the event, the Honourable Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Lawal Pedro, SAN, expressed profound appreciation to the Governor for his unwavering support for the Justice Sector.


“This is a significant boost to our operations. These buses will greatly ease transportation logistics for legal officers and Prosecutors. Notably, two of the buses have been designated to convey offenders to court and back to their various facilities, which will support our efforts in ensuring timely trial processes. At the same time, another two have been dedicated towards the Special Taskforce on Human Trafficking," he said.


The A.G. noted that Governor Sanwo-Olu remains focused on building strong institutions, and the Justice sector is at the heart of that vision. These vehicles are not just a fulfilment of a promise; they are an investment in access to justice and in the professionals who make it happen every day.


The Executive Secretary of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF), Dr. Abdurrazaq Balogun noted that the donation was made through the LSSTF at the instance of the Governor, and it marks the first time the agency is receiving such a request from the Governor to directly support the Ministry of Justice. 


"This reflects the Governor's deep commitment to strengthening the justice and security sectors. These buses will undoubtedly improve the day-to-day functioning of the justice system and enhance inter-agency collaboration,” the Executive Secretary said.


Additionally, the Controller of Corrections, Lagos Command, Controller George Daramola, while expressing his heartfelt appreciation to the Governor and the State Ministry of Justice, acknowledged the positive impact the two buses designated to the Nigerian Correctional Service will have on its operations, particularly in transporting inmates safely and efficiently.


"These buses will contribute to more organised and secure transportation for offenders, enhancing the safety of our personnel and the timely movement of offenders to and from court,” the Controller said.


The Solicitor-General and Permanent Secretary, Mr. Hameed Oyenuga extended gratitude to Mr. Governor, the Attorney-General and the Executive Secretary LSSTF for their continued support towards the rule of law and speedy dispensation of Justice across the State.


He stated that the provision of the buses aligns with the State Government’s broader vision of improving institutional capacity and promoting effective justice administration. The remaining vehicles will support the mobility of legal teams across the State, especially in high-demand and remote locations.


Oyenuga also reaffirmed the Ministry's commitment to deploying the buses effectively to advance justice access and operational efficiency in Lagos.
