Security is essential for business success, particularly in Apapa's strategic role in Lagos State's economy. We are enhancing our security framework to ensure safety for businesses, visitors, and residents. Continuous improvement and adaptation are key, supported by technical assistance and community partnerships. Our initiatives include regular engagements with security agencies, community interactions, and security audits to foster trust and cooperation. These efforts aim to create a thriving environment for businesses and peaceful living for residents.

Good health is priceless. It is this belief that has been shaping our people-centered health and wellness programmes. Over the past four years, we’ve acquired a fully equipped ambulance for emergency interventions. Our primary health care facilities provide vital curative and preventative services, while our advocacy efforts positively impact the community. A key initiative focuses on raising awareness about drug and substance abuse among youth through regular community walks. We believe that with intentional engagement, we can combat this issue effectively.

The Environment Services and Waste Management Department is responsible for monitoring all environmental factors that may negatively affect the health of individuals and communities. Additionally, the department is tasked with preventing and controlling those factors that could have harmful effects on people and their immediate surroundings. During the reporting period, the department undertook various activities aimed at preventing the outbreak of sanitation-related diseases and promoting a healthy environment, thereby enhancing the well-being of both residents and visitors in the local government area.

We believe that knowledge is empowerment, and the right skills are tools for transformation. Guided by this conviction, we have consistently invested in education, skill acquisition, and information technology to build a future-ready generation. Over the past four years, we’ve equipped learning centers with modern tools to support digital literacy and vocational training. Our youth empowerment programmes have opened doors to practical skills in areas like coding, graphic design, and craftsmanship, fostering entrepreneurship and employability. Our commitment extends beyond infrastructure. We champion community-based learning through mobile tech hubs, mentorship networks, and partnerships with educators and tech innovators. These initiatives ensure that even the most underserved can access opportunities to learn and grow.
