The Lagos State Security Trust Fund, LSSTF has released the second edition of its 2025 newsletter, highlighting its achievements in strengthening security across the state and unveiling a new public awareness campaign designed to foster greater collaboration with residents and stakeholders.
Reflecting on the Fund’s progress over the last decade, the Executive Secretary/CEO, Dr. Abdurrazaq Balogun, expressed appreciation to partners, donors, and security agencies for their continued support in advancing the vision of a safer Lagos.
“For LSSTF, facilitating general security has been our primary goal, and since I assumed leadership of the Fund 10 years ago, we have remained steadfast in providing the needed crime-fighting equipment and logistics to boost the operational capacity of our security agencies,” Balogun noted.
Reiterating the Fund’s mission, he explained that LSSTF’s interventions are not limited to law enforcement but also extend to safety agencies such as the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) and the Lagos State Command and Control Centre.
“Our vision is to make Lagos the safest commercial location in Africa because without robust security, businesses will not thrive. Safety and security go hand in hand, and that is why we have pursued this mission rigorously,” he said.
As part of its latest initiatives, LSSTF rolled out a series of billboards across strategic locations in the state. The campaign showcases the Fund’s contributions to security agencies through equipment donations and operational support, while also serving as a call to action for greater community involvement.
“These billboards are not just to tell our story, but to remind Lagosians that security is a shared responsibility and that the Fund thrives only through donations,” the LSSTF statement read.
Residents have been encouraged to support the campaign by engaging with the Fund on social media using the hashtag #ISawLSSTF, reinforcing collective ownership of security in Lagos.
