Lagos Strengthens Emergency Coordination with Technology-Driven Response System

In a bid to strengthen emergency response coordination and enhance public safety, the Lagos State Government, through the Lagos State Command and Control Centre (LSCCC), held a multi-agency stakeholders’ engagement themed: “One Response, One Platform: Advancing Integrated Emergency Management in Lagos State.”

Declaring the stakeholders’ meeting open in Ikeja, the Commissioner for Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Relations, Gbenga Oyerinde, described the gathering as a strategic institutional framework aimed at strengthening interoperability, multi-agency coordination, and technology-driven emergency response management within the State.

The Commissioner noted that emergency management can no longer operate in silos, emphasizing the urgent need for integrated communication systems, synchronized operational protocols, real-time information sharing, unified command structures, and data-driven decision-making processes capable of supporting rapid deployment and coordinated response during emergencies and disasters.

He reaffirmed the commitment of the Lagos State Government to continuous investment in emergency management infrastructure, capacity building, technology, and inter-agency coordination. According to him, the State Government will continue to strengthen systems and partnerships that enhance public safety and emergency preparedness across Lagos State.

Also speaking at the event, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Relations, Sesan Ogundeko, urged all stakeholders to embrace the initiative with professionalism, discipline, and a collective sense of responsibility, noting that the safety and resilience of communities largely depend on the efficiency of coordination systems and the competence of emergency responders.

He further stated that the success of the Lagos Emergency Response Management System (LERMS) and the broader emergency management architecture of Lagos State would depend on the ability of stakeholders to institutionalize collaboration, effectively leverage technology, and sustain a culture of continuous capacity development.

Speaking with newsmen, the General Manager of the Lagos State Command and Control Centre, Femi Kennedy-Giwa, described the event as timely and highly significant, as it seeks to reinforce operational synergy among first responders, security agencies, traffic management authorities, healthcare responders, fire services, environmental agencies, and other critical actors within the State’s emergency management ecosystem.

According to him, the LSCCC remains committed to strengthening institutional capacity and advancing sustainable reforms that will improve public safety outcomes across the State.
Mr. Kennedy-Giwa sincerely appreciated the visionary leadership and support of the administration of Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, as well as the guidance of the Ministry of Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Relations, for their unwavering commitment to building a safer Lagos.

He also commended all stakeholders and first responders for their dedication, professionalism, and sacrifice in the protection of lives and property.
He thereafter encouraged participants to actively engage and maximize the opportunities presented by the landmark programme, stressing that collective collaboration remains critical to building a more responsive, resilient, and technology-driven emergency management system for Lagos State.

On her part, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Youth and Social Development, Toyin Oke-Osanyintolu, emphasized the importance of synergy among emergency responders in order to avoid overlapping responsibilities, noting that disaster and emergency management is fundamentally a collective effort.

Speaking on the technical training session on LERMS, the Managing Director of Softseer Ltd, Iyanu Fakoya, explained that participants underwent intensive technical training designed to provide a strategic platform for harmonizing response protocols, enhancing inter-agency synergy, and improving emergency coordination through technology-driven solutions.
According to him, LERMS integrates multiple layers of emergency response into a single, unified ecosystem, thereby ensuring seamless coordination among first responders.

He added that the platform incorporates key services, including the EKO HELP distress system, which enables residents to report emergencies through mobile applications, USSD, SMS, and other communication channels.
Participants at the LERMS Technical Training and Stakeholders’ Engagement on Emergency Management included representatives from Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Agency (LNSA), Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), Lagos State Fire and Rescue Service, Lagos State Ambulance Service, Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency, Ministry of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation (Domestic Violence Unit), Ministry of Youth and Social Development, National Emergency Management Authority (NEMA), Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, (NSCDC), Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), among other critical stakeholders.

LAGOS UNVEILS DIGITAL EMERGENCY SYSTEM TO CUT RESPONSE TIME

The Lagos State Government has unveiled the Lagos Emergency Responder Management System (LERMS), a technology-driven platform designed to enhance coordination among emergency agencies and significantly reduce response time across the state.
Speaking at the launch held at the Folarin Coker Staff Clinic Conference Hall, Alausa, Ikeja, the Commissioner for Special Duties and Inter-Governmental Relations, Gbenga Oyerinde, described LERMS as a “transformative digital platform” that would revolutionise emergency management in Lagos.
He said the initiative was part of efforts to build a safer, smarter and more responsive megacity, noting that the complexities of urban living required a shift from fragmented approaches to an integrated system.
“LERMS brings together multiple layers of emergency response into a single, unified ecosystem, ensuring seamless coordination among first responders,” he said.
According to him, the platform integrates key services, including the EKO HELP distress system, which allows residents to report emergencies through mobile applications, USSD, SMS and other channels.
He added that the system would also connect critical agencies such as LASAMBUS, LASTMA, the Fire Service and security outfits, ensuring efficient communication and deployment during emergencies.
The commissioner further explained that LERMS features a multi-tier control centre for effective call routing, as well as an emergency notification system to provide real-time updates to residents during crises.
He highlighted the Ambulance Services Management System as a major component, noting that it would integrate hospital bed tracking, ambulance dispatch and real-time coordination of health personnel.
The advantages are clear: faster response time, improved coordination, better resource allocation and enhanced data intelligence, ultimately reducing loss of lives and property,” he said.
Also speaking, the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Sesan Ogundeko, described the event as an introduction of the system to emergency responders, ahead of a broader rollout to residents.
He said the system would address long-standing challenges in emergency response, particularly difficulties in identifying exact locations of incidents.
“Your device will automatically transmit your location to responders, eliminating delays caused by trying to describe where an incident is happening,” Ogundeko explained.
He added that the platform would identify the nearest responder to an incident, enabling quicker intervention.
Ogundeko said the innovation would significantly reduce response time from an average of 12–13 minutes to about five to seven minutes, in line with international standards.
He likened the system’s efficiency to ride-hailing services, noting that responders would be dispatched based on proximity and urgency.
The government said the deployment of LERMS aligns with its Smart City agenda, leveraging technology to improve governance and service delivery.
In his welcome address, the General Manager of the Lagos State Command and Control Centre (LSCCC), Giwa Kennedy, described LERMS as a major leap in the evolution of emergency response in the state.
Kennedy said the system connects citizens, responders and the control centre through a multi-channel framework, allowing distress alerts via Interactive Voice Response (IVR), SMS, USSD, social media platforms and the Eko Help application.
He noted that the platform is powered by an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) middleware that verifies caller authenticity and incident credibility, thereby reducing false alarms and improving operational efficiency.
“LERMS is not just a system; it is a robust framework that enhances real-time monitoring, communication and rapid deployment of resources,” he said.
He added that responders would benefit from in-vehicle communication tools and asset tracking capabilities, enabling coordinated responses across agencies, while a multi-tier control centre architecture would strengthen decision-making and operational speed.
Kennedy further said the integrated Emergency Notification and Alert System would provide residents with timely updates during emergencies, while the ambulance management system would improve medical response through real-time tracking of hospital capacity and deployment of healthcare resources.
Speaking on the benefits, he described the initiative as a “paradigm shift” from traditional voice-based emergency calls to a more inclusive, technology-driven approach.
“With multiple reporting channels and location-tracking capability, responders can now reach incident scenes faster without delays associated with describing locations,” he said. Residents were urged to embrace the platform and use it responsibly, as the state intensifies public sensitisation ahead of its full rollout.

The school sensitization is designed to ensure that the students know exactly what to do and who to call during emergencies. However, people should decease from prank or false calls as they deprive those in genuine need of timely assistance.

As part of effort to sustain the message beyond the classroom, students were presented with educational materials including exercise books embedded with safety tips, water bottles and pens, all reinforcing the emergency awareness campaign.

Lagos State Government Deepens Safety Awareness, Trains Over 1,000 Agege Students on Emergency Lines 767/112

The Lagos State Government has intensified efforts to build a safety-conscious generation as the Lagos State Command and Control Centre (LSCCC) sensitised over 1,000 students of State Junior High School, Oyewole, Agege on the appropriate use of the State’s emergency toll-free lines, 767 and 112.

The initiative forms part of the State Government’s broader public safety strategy aimed at embedding emergency preparedness and responsible response culture among residents, particularly students who serve as key channels for information dissemination within families and communities.

The General Manager, Lagos State Command and Control Centre, Mr. Femi Kennedy Giwa, who was unavoidably absent, was represented by the Director, Administration and Human Resource, Mrs. Adeyinka Adeeso.
Delivering the General Manager’s message, Mrs. Adeeso described the sensitisation as a strategic intervention designed to equip young residents with life-saving knowledge.
“The Lagos State Government remains committed to ensuring that every resident, including our students, is well-informed and prepared to respond appropriately in emergency situations. Early awareness and proper use of the emergency toll-free lines, 767 and 112, are critical to saving lives and protecting property across the State,” the General Manager stated.

Mrs. Adeeso further emphasised that the emergency lines are toll-free and accessible at all times, urging students to utilise them responsibly while cautioning against hoax calls.
“This sensitisation is designed to ensure that students know exactly what to do and who to call during emergencies. However, we strongly discourage false calls, as they deprive those in genuine need of timely assistance and could lead to avoidable consequences. Such actions are punishable and must be avoided,” she added.

The interactive session provided practical guidance on emergency response, including the importance of staying calm, giving accurate location details, and promptly reporting incidents.
Students, including Awoseyin Tobiloba Emmanuel and Alamu Eniola Rebecca, expressed excitement and appreciation for the initiative, noting that the knowledge gained would be shared with their families and peers.
“We have learnt to stay calm during emergencies, give clear information when calling 767 or 112, and avoid panic. We will also take this message home to our parents and others,” they said.

In her remarks, the Principal of the school, Mrs. Olabimpe Balogun, commended the Lagos State Government for the impactful initiative, stating that the sensitisation would leave a lasting impression on the students and strengthen safety awareness within the school community.
She added that the school has basic safety equipment, including fire extinguishers and sand buckets, to manage emergency situations.

As part of efforts to sustain the message beyond the classroom, students were presented with branded educational materials, including exercise books embedded with safety tips, water bottles, and pens, all reinforcing the emergency awareness campaign.

The Lagos State Government reiterated its commitment to expanding safety education across schools and communities, leveraging strategic communication and grassroots engagement to ensure that every resident is equipped with the knowledge to respond effectively in emergency situations.
This initiative further underscores the State Government’s commitment to the T.H.E.M.E.S+ Agenda, particularly in strengthening security, emergency response, and social development through proactive citizen engagement and public safety education.
