The Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund, LSSTF, Ayodele Ogunsan, has reiterated the importance of prioritising the health and well-being of security personnel as a critical component of effective security delivery in Lagos.
Ogunsan made this known while receiving a delegation from Shenzhen Comen Medical Instruments Co. Ltd. at the LSSTF headquarters in Ikeja on Tuesday, April 7, 2026.
The delegation, led by its Regional Director for Africa, Jeff Zhang, expressed the company’s intention to partner with the Trust Fund to enhance healthcare support for security operatives across the state.
Also present was the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of May Care Hospitals, Ma AiMei, among other officials.
Discussions during the visit focused on the proposed donation of critical medical equipment and healthcare resources aimed at improving both the physical and mental well-being of officers working under demanding conditions in the megacity.
Ogunsan commended the company for the initiative, describing it as a timely intervention that would strengthen the human capital base of the state’s security architecture.
He emphasised that beyond providing operational logistics and equipment, investment in the welfare and health of personnel remains essential for sustained effectiveness.
“My leadership at the LSSTF has consistently maintained that security funding should not be limited to vehicles, logistics, and hardware, but must also prioritise human capital development. This is what drives operational success,” he said.
He further noted that improving access to quality healthcare infrastructure would bridge existing gaps in occupational health for officers and enhance their readiness to respond to security challenges.
Ogunsan also called for increased collaboration with international partners and donors to support initiatives that promote the well-being of security personnel, stressing that a healthy workforce is vital to safeguarding lives and property across Lagos State.
