Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos has given seven new buses to the state Ministry of Justice to enhance justice delivery.
The vehicles were given to the ministry on Thursday through the Lagos State Security Trust Fund.
This was contained in a statement from the ministry.
The state Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Lawal Pedro, described the donation as a major boost to justice administration in Lagos State.
He thanked the governor for the gesture.
Pedro said that two of the buses would be used to convey suspects to and from courts, while the other two would serve the Special Taskforce 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, Dr Abdurrazaq Balogun, said the gesture marked the first direct request by the governor to support the ministry.
He said that it highlighted Sanwo-Olu’s commitment to institutional development and inter-agency collaboration.
“The donation reflects Gov. Sanwo-Olu’s resolve to reinforce both the justice and security sectors,” Balogun said.
The Controller of Corrections, Lagos State Command, Mr George Daramola, expressed appreciation for the gesture, saying that the two buses designated for transporting inmates would enhance the safe and timely movement of inmates.
In his remarks, Lagos State Solicitor-General and Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Mr Hameed Oyenuga, thanked the governor, the attorney general and LSSTF for the gesture.
He reaffirmed the ministry’s commitment to promoting access to justice.
He said that the vehicles would be deployed strategically to improve service delivery, especially in underserved areas.
