The Lagos State Government has indicated plans to expand fire safety infrastructure across the state, following the addition of a new fire station as part of recently commissioned projects aimed at improving public safety and development.
According to a statement by the Lagos State government, the projects were unveiled during a two-day commissioning programme held from April 8 to April 9, 2026, under the administration of Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu. The exercise was carried out on behalf of Bola Ahmed Tinubu by Godswill Akpabio.
Among the key projects delivered is the Tolu School Complex located in Olodi Apapa, Ajegunle, in Ajeromi-Ifelodun Local Government Area. The complex comprises 36 schools, a modern fire station, and a stadium with 19 mini football pitches.
The inclusion of a fire station within the facility reflects the government’s efforts to protect lives and property while also supporting community growth.
A multi-agency complex named after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was also commissioned during the event. The facility is expected to strengthen collaboration among emergency responders and other public service institutions in the state.
Speaking at the event, the Controller-General of the Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Margaret Adeseye, commended the government for its continued investment in safety infrastructure, noting that the new fire station will improve emergency response, especially in heavily populated areas.
“The additional fire station will significantly enhance emergency response coverage, particularly within densely populated communities,” Adeseye said.
Adeseye stated that with the addition of the Tolu Fire Station, the number of Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service (LSFRS) locations has increased to 25, making it the 11th fire station delivered by the current administration. He added that three more stations are at different stages of completion, with two already included in this year’s budget.
The development highlights the government’s continued focus on strengthening emergency services and building a safer, more resilient, and inclusive environment for residents across the state.
