In a city where security remains the bedrock upon which economic growth, social stability and community development are built, deliberate investments in safety infrastructure continue to define the quality of governance and public confidence.
Across Lagos, strategic collaborations between government institutions, security agencies, corporate stakeholders and community leaders have steadily transformed the security landscape, ensuring that residents can live, work and conduct business with greater assurance. It is within this context that community leaders from Agege Local Government Area and Orile-Agege LCDA paid a courtesy visit to the Executive Secretary/CEO of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF), Dr. Ayodele Ogunsan in the agency’s Headquarters, Alausa Secretariat, Ikeja, Lagos on Wednesday 3rd of June 2026.
The delegation expressed profound appreciation to Dr. Ogunsan and the entire team at LSSTF for the sustained support being provided to security agencies operating within Agege and its environs. Particular commendation was given for the ongoing construction of the Elere Police Station, a project widely regarded as a strategic intervention that will significantly strengthen policing capacity and improve response times within the community.
The leaders also lauded the support extended to security operations aimed at combating crime and illicit drug activities in the area. They noted that the increased operational presence of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) and other security agencies within Agege has contributed positively to efforts aimed at curbing drug-related crimes and enhancing public safety.
Dr. Ogunsan, in his response, appreciated the delegation for taking time off to pay the visit. He reaffirmed the Fund’s unwavering commitment to strengthening security infrastructure across Lagos State. He emphasized that the LSSTF would continue to work closely with security agencies and relevant stakeholders to ensure safer communities and a more secure environment for all residents.
Present during the visit were the Head of the LSSTF Monitoring Unit, Mr. Adeniran Samson Israel; alongside community stalwarts from both Agege and Orile-Agege including Hon. Sabitu Kamorudeen, Hon. Akinbode Odekunle, and Engr. Adeniyi Adekoya.
This appreciation and courtesy visit from the Agege community leaders underscores the growing recognition of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund as a vital pillar in the state’s security ecosystem, as well as a major contributor to the overall peace and development of communities across Lagos.
