Power solutions giant, Mikano International Limited yesterday donated 10 patrol vehicles to the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF) to boost public safety. 

The vehicles were handed over by the company’s chairman, Mofid Karameh, to the Executive Secretary LSSTF, Dr. Ayodele Ogunsan, at a brief ceremony in Victoria Island. 

According to Mikano, the donation was in line with the private sector’s commitment to public safety, adding that it was fully aligned with the state’s safety and development agenda. 

Karameh was one of the select CEOs who attended the recent LSSTF-organised Private Sector Breakfast Meeting with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, which sought to deepen corporate participation in improving security across Lagos. 

He was elated at the giant investments the state government was making in security and safety for the prosperity of Lagosians. 

Karameh praised Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s proactive engagement with private-sector leaders, stressing that effective security is essential for business growth, investor confidence and the well-being of residents.

Receiving the vehicles, Dr. Ogunsan commended Mikano for the impactful intervention, describing it as a proof of private sector participation in public solutions. He noted that operational vehicles remain one of the critical enablers of effective policing, rapid response, and streets surveillance.

He added that the LSSTF will. continue to rely on responsible corporate organisations to complement government efforts, especially as the state’s population and economic activities expand. 

“This donation will shore up our capacity to support our various security agencies. It is proof that we do not only receive cash as donations, we also seek organizations that will give direct in-kind support to us. Mikano’s gesture today is a clear demonstration that securing Lagos is a collective responsibility,” Ogunsan stated.

The Ten pickup vehicles, built for durability and high mobility, are expected to be deployed immediately to support patrol and emergency response across key locations in the state.
