A member of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF) Board of Trustees, Ayo Ogunsan has been widely shared across multiple platforms and celebrated by big names inside and outside Nigerian security architecture and has received the NAOSNP’s Man of the Year Award.
The honour presented to him for “the magnificent work you are doing in advancing the cause of national security and economic development” was held on Wednesday 21st September 2022 at the prestigious Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos , held.
The annual conference and awards, organized by the umbrella organisation of journalists and publishers covering safety, security and other related topics, is its third edition.
The theme ‘Crime Prevention and Intelligence Gathering: Institutionalising Citizen Participation, Technology and the Way Forward’ was set against the backdrop of the all-important support that security agencies in Nigeria need to operate and thrive.
Because of this immense support, Dr. Ayo Ogunsan presented with the Man of the Year award.
Dr Ogunsan is highly respected as a civilian who excels in assisting the Nigerian Police and other security agencies.
Delighted with the award, Executive Trainers Limited Chairman Dr. Ayo Ogunsan: “My stay in the security sector only started about 11 years ago.
From then on, I set out to contribute my best to the interests of the security authorities in Nigeria, particularly in Lagos State.
My joy is when I see how security agencies work and have everything they need to carry out their duties.
As long as I see her happy, I’m happy. If we civilians refuse to support them, we cannot complain.”
“This award means one thing to me. The reward for hard work is more work.
You challenged me to do more and I will do more,” he told the National Association of Online Security News Publishers (NAOSNP).
In celebration of the large gathering of security icons in both the private and public sectors who were present with him at the event, the Lagos State Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) Patron said: “I want to thank you all for your time out here.
The AIG Zone 2, AIG Adeleke Bode, Police Commissioner, Lagos Command, CP Abiodun Alabi, Police Commissioner, Ogun State, CP Lanre Bankole, AIG Olusegun Odumosu (rtd) thank you for honoring me today.
I am delighted that elders are coming to this program that we boys are attending.
Babajide Kolade-Otitoju, another towering civilian, lent his voice in support of security agency activities, saying, “Who says all security agents are corrupt?
This statement is nothing but untrue. I know many security officers who don’t take bribes.
When I say bribes, I mean life-changing bribes – money that can change your life.
And for all Nigerian Army, Police, NSCDC, Immigration, Customs and NDLEA officers who have conscientiously performed their duties and who have stood firmly for the truth to make Nigeria great by not taking bribes, regardless of grade.”
The media champion was also honoured at the event.
Likewise, former foreign minister and governor of the old Imo state, Maj. Gen. Ike Nwachukwu (rtd), praised the security agencies for providing selfless service to the country, adding that people have been able to sleep with their eyes closed because of the security agencies put a lot in.
