“This summit serves as a vital platform for stakeholders in the security sector to deliberate on innovative approaches to enhance safety in Lagos,” Omotoso stated.
A major highlight of the event will be the presentation of patrol vehicles and other security equipment to law enforcement agencies. Additionally, the Executive Secretary of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF), Rasaq Balogun, will deliver an account of his administration’s efforts, alongside contributions from other security chiefs.
The Lagos State Security Trust Fund, established in 2007 to address violent crimes such as bank robberies, has significantly improved the security landscape of the state. Omotoso noted that Lagos has recorded no bank robberies in the past five years, a feat credited to the Fund’s initiatives.
The town hall meeting underscores Governor Sanwo-Olu’s commitment to leveraging data and technology to combat evolving security threats and foster a safer Lagos.
