In a significant move underscoring the power of public-private partnerships, Mikano Motors has donated a fleet of its robust Max pickup vehicles to the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF). This contribution aims to significantly enhance the operational capabilities of law enforcement and security agencies in Lagos State, reinforcing the commitment of both the government and the private sector to ensuring the safety and well-being of its residents.

Cablenews24 reports that the official handover ceremony, a testament to the growing collaboration between businesses and the state government, was held at the Mikano Motors showroom in the upscale Victoria Island area of Lagos. The event was attended by key figures from both Mikano International Ltd. and the LSSTF, highlighting the importance of this initiative. Mr. Mofid Karameh, Chairman/CEO of Mikano International Ltd., personally welcomed Dr. Ayo Ogunsan, the Executive Secretary/CEO of LSSTF, and his team, leading them on a comprehensive tour of the showroom to showcase the capabilities of the Max pickup vehicles.

Mr. Karameh emphasized Mikano’s dedication to supporting the Lagos State government’s efforts in creating a safer environment. He specifically lauded the proactive leadership of the Executive Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, recognizing his significant investments in security infrastructure and initiatives. Karameh noted that Governor Sanwo-Olu’s recent Private Sector Breakfast Meeting served as a crucial platform for fostering dialogue and understanding between the government and business leaders, allowing them to gain insights into the state’s security challenges and opportunities for collaboration.

“We recognize the immense efforts that the Lagos State government, under the leadership of Governor Sanwo-Olu, is putting into ensuring the safety and security of its citizens,” stated Mr. Karameh. “This donation is a testament to our commitment to supporting these efforts and contributing to the overall prosperity of Lagos State. We believe that a secure environment is essential for economic growth and development, and we are proud to partner with the LSSTF in achieving this goal.”

In recognition of Mikano’s generous contribution, Dr. Ogunsan presented the LSSTF Distinguished Honor Award to Mikano International Ltd. The award, accepted by Mr. Karameh, symbolizes the deep appreciation of the LSSTF and the Lagos State government for Mikano’s commitment to corporate social responsibility and its proactive role in enhancing public safety.

Syam Abdulkadir, the National Operations Manager for Mikano, provided further details about the donation, emphasizing the company’s long-term commitment to Nigeria and its people. He highlighted that Mikano has been operating in Nigeria for three decades and views this contribution as a natural extension of its dedication to nation-building.

“Our presence in Nigeria for the past three decades underscores our commitment to the country’s growth and development,” said Mr. Abdulkadir. “We believe that security is a fundamental pillar of a thriving society, and we are proud to provide the LSSTF with these Max pickup vehicles to support their vital work in protecting the citizens of Lagos State.”

Dr. Ogunsan, in his remarks, expressed profound gratitude to Mikano for its leadership and responsiveness to the state’s call for increased private-sector involvement in security initiatives. He emphasized that Mikano’s donation sets a positive example for other businesses to follow.

Dr. Ogunsan concluded by assuring Mikano and the public that the donated vehicles would be used responsibly and effectively to enhance security operations throughout Lagos State.

The vehicles are expected to be deployed across various divisions of the Lagos State Police Command and other security agencies, providing them with enhanced mobility and responsiveness in their efforts to combat crime and maintain law and order.
