The Lagos State Security Trust Fund, LSSTF has appointed Dr. Moses Oladimeji as State Coordinator of its newly launched Campaign Against Crime, Cultism and Other Vices, LSSTF-CACCOV.
The appointment was announced alongside six other committee members who will support the implementation of the initiative aimed at strengthening community-based crime prevention across Lagos State.
According to the Executive Secretary and CEO of LSSTF, Ayo Ogunsan, the campaign is designed to promote advocacy, community engagement and youth mentorship as part of long-term crime prevention strategies.
He explained that Dr. Oladimeji will supervise statewide outreach programmes, including school campaigns, community sensitisation walks, mentorship initiatives and partnerships with traditional rulers, faith-based organisations, youth groups and civil society stakeholders.
Ogunsan noted that the LSSTF-CACCOV initiative is intended to complement the efforts of security agencies by addressing social factors that encourage crime, such as cultism, substance abuse and youth violence.
He stressed that negative social behaviours often thrive in environments with poor guidance, weak community structures and limited positive engagement opportunities for young people.
The new State Coordinator is expected to lead advocacy programmes aimed at discouraging recruitment into cult groups and promoting positive behavioural change among youths.
The Fund also called on parents, teachers, community leaders and the media to support the campaign as the committee begins full implementation across Lagos State.
Other members of the seven-man LSSTF-CACCOV committee include Uzezi Akinwoleola (Assistant State Coordinator/General Secretary), Nathaniel Olugbogi (Head, Digital Communication, Strategy and Technology), Prominence Promise (Head, Human Resources and Training), Joseph Akinwoleola (Head, Education, Advocacy and Empowerment), Taiwo Idris (Head, Media, Press and Public Relations) and Mesole Emmanuel (Head, Community Outreach and Programmes).
