The new building headquarters will significantly enhance the operational efficiency of the LSSTF, providing improved working facilities for strategic planning, coordination, and engagement with security agencies. It will also boost the state’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its security architecture.

 

In the announcement which was met with loud rounding applause from stakeholders, Governor Sanwo-Olu said: ‘Our father, Sir Adebutu Kessington who is represented here by his son, Ajibola Adebutu, has assured us that by the time we are doing the 20th anniversary, we will be commissioning the brand new building for the Lagos State Security Trust Fund. It will be completed in 12 months. He deserves a big round of applause. Thank you very much, baba.’

Sir Adebutu’s intervention is long overdue as the security funding agency requires an upgraded administrative base to match the increasing demands of security management in a rapidly growing metropolis like Lagos.
