The Lagos State Environment and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit, popularly known as the Taskforce, has received a boost in its operational capacity following the donation of operational vehicles by the Lagos State Security Trust Fund, LSSTF.
At the official handover ceremony, the Executive Secretary and CEO of LSSTF, Dr. Abdurrazaq Balogun, presented the vehicles to the Chairman of the Taskforce, CSP Adetayo Akerele.
According to Dr. Balogun, the gesture reflects LSSTF’s ongoing commitment to strengthening security infrastructure in Lagos.
“The success of any enforcement agency is directly tied to its logistical readiness. We are confident that these vehicles will help the Taskforce respond more swiftly to environmental and security breaches across the state,” he said.
CSP Akerele, while receiving the vehicles, expressed gratitude to the LSSTF and reaffirmed the Taskforce’s dedication to maintaining law and order, especially in curbing street trading, traffic violations, and environmental nuisances.
“We thank the LSSTF for their continued support. These vehicles will enhance our operations and improve our reach in enforcing environmental laws and addressing special offences,” Akerele said.
Blacktalker reports that the donation, which includes several operational vehicles, is aimed at supporting the Taskforce in executing its environmental enforcement and special offences mandate with greater speed and mobility.
