The Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Agency has taken a step towards enhancing security in the state with the unveiling of forest guard units.
The General Manager, Prince Ifalade Oyekan, led the inauguration ceremony at the agency’s headquarters, during which 38 newly elected officers took the oath of service.
The new units include Marine, Forest Rangers, Technical and Mechanical, Paramedics, Tailoring, Crime Scene Management and Forensics, Domestic Violence, Research and Innovation, and Anti-Human Trafficking.
A total of 38 newly selected officers took the oath of service, pledging to uphold the agency’s core values of integrity, vigilance, and community commitment.
In his address, the General Manager commended the officers for their dedication and urged them to serve with discipline, courage, and empathy.
He said, “You are not just officers of the Neighbourhood Safety Agency, you are guardians of our communities. Your presence and actions will shape the safety and trust of the neighbourhoods you are assigned to protect,” Oyekan said.
He also emphasised the importance of proactive policing, community engagement, and the protection of human rights.
The officers were encouraged to build bond relationships with residents and work collaboratively to address safety concerns.

“I am proud to be part of this agency and this new unit. I look forward to working closely with my colleagues and our communities to make our neighbourhoods safer for everyone,” she said.
