LAGOS—GOVERNOR Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, Monday, urged
children in the state to be vigilant and security-conscious as the state
joined the rest of the world to celebrate this year’s Children’s Day.
Speaking at the celebration held at the Police College Ground, Ikeja, Fashola said: “There have been some unpleasant reports of some bad people who now live among us.
“In order to avoid these people and to remain safe, you must desist from boarding any unregistered vehicle or vehicles not painted in the state yellow and black colour.”
He added that the children “should also be wary of the type of company you keep. And be careful with how you associate with strangers by refusing to be tempted with gift and money.
“When you are confronted with any issue, seek your parents’, guidance and teacher’s advice and never shun their warning.
“While we relied on the government to provide the suitable atmosphere, we listened to our parents and we joined clubs that would impact on our academics and these kept us away from these kidnappers.
“If you also do so by joining good clubs like the traffic club, energy club and others, the sky is your limit.”
Fashola assured the children that the state government would continue to work hard with security officials to ensure they were kept safe from the menace of kidnappers.
