On many occasions, Dr. Ayo Ogunsan, board member of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF), has consistently gone above and beyond to support the enhancement of the internal security mechanisms for the nation via the Nigeria Police. As a member of the LSSTF, his insights, expertise, and unwavering commitment have helped shape and implement crucial security initiatives in Lagos State, setting a benchmark for other regions to follow.
In recognition of that, the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun at the recently held annual Conference and Retreat of Senior Police Officers in Owerri, Imo State, bestowed on Ogunsan the Nigeria Police ‘Distinguished Service Award’.
In the wake of that extraordinary accomplishment, just as the Nigeria Police is taking proactive measures to tackle cultism —a top security concern in Lagos— Ogunsan, a quintessential entrepreneur cum philanthropist, has also been appointed as the new Chairman of the Police Campaign Against Cultism and other Vices (POCACOV) in Lagos. POCACOV demonstrates the Police High Command’s commitment to addressing security challenges through collaborative efforts.
The National Coordinator of POCACOV praised Ogunsan’s contributions to improving security mechanisms, highlighting his dedication to the cause. The appointment re-emphasizes Ogunsan’s role in facilitating the Crime Prevention Steering Group’s objectives and working with stakeholders to enhance internal security. While waiting for the inauguration of other State Chairmen nationwide, Ogunsan, in his new role, will oversee POCACOV initiatives in Lagos and collaborate with the police coordinator to promote community-oriented policing and prevent crime effectively.
