Stampede: Seek Clearance From Govt Before Organizing Large Crowd Event- Sanwo-olu
We have observed with serious concern the recent stampedes during philanthropic gestures by individuals and organizations in some parts of the country.
I sympathize with the families whose loved ones were involved in these tragic events that resulted in the loss of lives.
To prevent such occurrences in Lagos State, I urge all individuals or groups intending to distribute items to large gatherings to seek clearance from the Lagos State Safety Commission. The agency is well-equipped to ensure that such events do not turn tragic.
The Lagos State Safety Commission has established a partnership with security agencies to ensure effective crowd control at locations with large numbers of people.
You can register your events and obtain the necessary clearance through the Safety Commission’s platform.
