Lagos Government announces reactivation of 767 distress line

Thursday, 21 August 2008

The Lagos State Government on Wednesday announced the reactivation of the toll free 767 emergency distress call system for the use of members of the public.

The Government in a statement signed by the Honourable Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Barrister Opeyemi Bamidele implored members of the public to call the number which would be accessible on a 24- hour basis when in need of any assistance from the security agencies, the fire services agencies or in any emergency situation.

It expressed the appreciation of the State Government to President Umaru Musa Yar’adua for his assistance in restoring the toll free line for the usage of the public after its temporary suspension following a disagreement over the frequency allocation.

The 767 toll free emergency line was launched last April 15th by the Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN) as part of security measures to secure the life and property of Lagosians.
