The Lagos State Government on Monday said it had procured no fewer than 100 vehicles for the use of traditional rulers and chiefs across the state.
Mr Ademorin Kuye, Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, made the disclosure at the 2015 Ministerial Press Briefing in Ikeja.
He said the vehicles, which had since been presented to the traditional rulers, were to ease the movement of the beneficiaries in the discharge of their duties.
Kuye said the government was committed to the welfare of Obas in the state, and would continue to take steps to demonstrate it.
“With these vehicles and more that we have provided for our Obas and Chiefs, we can boldly say our traditional rulers are the most taken of in the whole of the country.
“We see traditional rulers as partners in progress and we will continue to do our best to make them comfortable,’’ he said.
Kuye said government was building new palaces and renovating old ones to enhance the comfort of traditional rulers.
