The meeting also provides a great opportunity to harmonise the strategies of both the Federal Government and the State Government in fighting against crime and providing a safe environment that will encourage peaceful coexistence among residents and business growth.

The external auditors to the Fund, Ernst & Young, will give their opinion on the 2021 audit report of the Fund, while Abiodun Alabi, the Commissioner of Police of the Lagos State Police Command, will also give a report on the activities of the Command, including their challenges and achievements in the year under review.
