The governor, who spoke at the unveiling of new fire stations at Ijegun-Egba and Ijede, Ikorodu, said the two new stations were sited where they are most needed. He added that they have been equipped to handle domestic fires, industrial accidents, and any other emergencies.

“But this is more than just a building; it’s a lifeline. It’s here to save lives, reduce response times, and ensure our first responders can reach those in need as swiftly as possible,” said the governor, who was represented by the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Abimbola Sailu-Hundeyin at the Ijede commissioning and the Permanent Secretary, Special Duties, Sesan Tunde Ogundeko, at the Ijegun-Egba commissioning.

Sanwo-Olu said the stations were part of the government’s developmental agenda, adding that Lagos has been ranked 19th best city in the world due to its rapid infrastructural development and called on private sectors to collaborate with the government in protecting the lives of Lagosians.

The governor expressed confidence in the ‘courageous firefighters’, adding, ‘We are confident in your ability to protect and serve our people even more effectively.’
