Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, will host the 18th edition of the state’s annual town hall meeting on security.
This was announced by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, in a statement issued on Wednesday, describing the event as “a major summit for stakeholders in the (security) sector.”
Scheduled for December 18, 2024, the meeting will take place at Lagos House in Ikeja under the theme, “Data & Technology Driven Security: The Way Forward.”
Omotoso revealed that the event will feature the presentation of patrol vehicles and other essential equipment to security operatives.
Additionally, the Executive Secretary of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund, Rasaq Balogun, will provide an account of his tenure, while other security chiefs are expected to share their insights during the meeting.
Established in 2007, the Lagos State Security Trust Fund was designed to tackle violent crimes, particularly bank robberies.
