Gov. Sanwo-Olu Elevates Aide to Assistant Superintendent of Police

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has added another milestone to his administration’s security strengthening initiatives by decorating one of his aides, Femi Ale, with the prestigious rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), in a ceremony highlighting merit and service commitment. The event, shared on the official Lagos State Government platforms, underscores the administration’s resolve to recognise and reward dedicated service within its team.

The promotion of Femi Ale to ASP marks a significant professional advancement for the aide, who has served closely with the governor in supporting security coordination efforts across the state. While details about Ale’s specific duties prior to the decoration are limited, the new rank positions him for greater responsibility within the Nigeria Police Force, aligning with broader goals of enhancing security service leadership in Lagos.

Governor Sanwo-Olu, in presenting the new rank, reiterated the importance of professionalism and dedication in public service. His move reflects a broader effort by the Lagos State Government to foster a culture of discipline, accountability and merit-based recognition across all arms of governance. This decoration comes amid various initiatives aimed at strengthening institutional capacity in the state.

The elevation of Femi Ale also resonates with past instances where the governor has publicly acknowledged police officers’ contributions to public safety and peace in Lagos, showing an ongoing commitment to supporting law enforcement personnel. It aligns with the shared vision of creating a safer, more secure Lagos under the theme #AGreaterLagosRising.

Observers say that recognising aides and officers through formal promotions not only boosts morale but also reinforces the connection between government leadership and security services, which is crucial in a large, dynamic state like Lagos. The decoration of Femi Ale as Assistant Superintendent of Police is therefore both a personal achievement and a symbolic reinforcement of the Sanwo-Olu administration’s focus on security and governance excellence.
