The Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service (LSFRS) has held a sensitisation session for the staff of the wife of Lagos State Governor, Dr. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu.
In a statement on Wednesday, LSFRS’ Deputy Director of Public Affairs, Mr. Ololade Agboola said the sensitisation was in continuation of the agency’s civic engagement duty embedded in the core mandate of fire prevention.
The governor’s wife was engaged in the practical demonstration on usage of first aid firefighting equipment “and the entire staff were delighted by the acquired knowledge of fire prevention and the necessary actions to take in case of a fire emergency”, the statement said.
At the sensitisation session, which was held at the Lagos House, Ikeja, LSFRS Director, Mrs. Margaret Adeseye disclosed that a total of 5,979 fire and other related emergencies were recorded and attended to during the first tenure of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, between May 2019 and May 2023.
Adeseye was quoted as saying, “a total number of 5,979 fire and related emergencies were attended and recorded in the first tenure of the present administration between May 2019 and May 2023 in line with security and governance of the T.H.E.M.E.S. agenda”.
She informed the audience that the Sanwo-Olu administration had “proactively done its quota with huge investment in public order and safety and it’s time for the populace to reciprocate by keying into the ‘Fire Safety Net’ as provided by the government.”
Present at the sensitisation were the governor’s wife, and all officials and security operatives attached to her.
