The Lagos State Government has initiated a partnership with the Nigeria Police Force to remodel and regenerate 25 barracks belonging to the Nigeria Police Force across Lagos State.
The Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Housing, Mrs. Toke Benson-Awoyinka disclosed this on Wednesday during a press conference held at Nigeria Police Command, Ikeja, Lagos.
Mrs. Benson-Awoyinka averred that the officials of the Nigeria Police Force across the nation and their families deserve better habitation and befitting model infrastructure amenities at the barracks to enhance their service delivery.
She informed that the State Government will facilitate all planning works and building approvals needed for the realisation of the projects and will also make sure that buildings are constructed to acceptable standards.
The initiation of the regeneration plans, according to Benson-Awoyinka, shows that both the federal and the State Government takes the welfare of the security operatives seriously. She said, “The governments are passionate about the welfare of the force’s members, hence the need to regenerate these barracks within Lagos State.
She appreciated the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and Federal Government through the Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Aikali Baba for putting heads together for this initiative of giving a facelift to Nigeria Police barracks in Lagos State.
