The Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF) has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening grassroots security initiatives across Lagos State, following a courtesy visit by the leadership of the Agege Community Security Trust Fund to its Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Ayodele Ogunsan.
The delegation, led by the Chief Executive Officer of the Agege Security Trust Fund, Mr. Anikulapo M. Adeyemi, alongside an Advisory Board member, Mr. Adeniran Samson Israel, visited the LSSTF’s new headquarters on Assbifi Road, Central Business District, Alausa, Ikeja.
The visit provided an opportunity for both organisations to strengthen institutional collaboration and explore ways of improving security delivery at the community level.
The engagement follows the official inauguration of the Agege Community Security Trust Fund on October 8, 2026, at the Agege Local Government Secretariat.
Receiving the delegation, Dr. Ogunsan emphasised the importance of sustained partnerships, commitment and collective responsibility in ensuring that the Agege Security Trust Fund achieves its objectives.
He encouraged the leadership to remain dedicated to the initiative, noting that with effective coordination and genuine commitment to service, the organisation could deliver meaningful and sustainable security interventions in Agege, just as the LSSTF has continued to do over nearly two decades of operation.
It would be recalled that during the inauguration of the Agege Security Trust Fund, Dr. Ogunsan demonstrated LSSTF’s commitment to the initiative by presenting a brand-new operational patrol vehicle to the Executive Chairman of Agege Local Government, Hon. Vinod Obasa, to strengthen security response and operational mobility within the area.
He also pledged additional protective equipment for security personnel supporting the initiative, including 10 ballistic helmets, 10 bulletproof vests, raincoats and operational boots.
At the inauguration, the LSSTF chief executive highlighted the importance of collective responsibility in security management, identifying government, residents, security agencies and the private sector as four critical stakeholders whose collaboration is essential to building safer communities.
He further assured the Agege Security Trust Fund leadership of LSSTF’s continued support in mobilising wider stakeholder participation and strengthening the initiative’s capacity to deliver on its mandate.
The Agege Community Security Trust Fund was established to promote grassroots participation and sustainable funding for security operations across Agege Local Government Area.
Through community engagement, intelligence gathering, crime prevention and improved coordination among security stakeholders, the initiative is expected to complement existing security structures and strengthen efforts towards a safer environment for residents.
The latest engagement reinforces LSSTF’s commitment to supporting community-based security initiatives and building stronger partnerships towards a safer Lagos State.
