The Lagos State Security Trust Fund has donated 50 bulletproof vests, 50 ballistic helmets and 100 raincoats to the Nigerian Navy Ship Beecroft, Lagos, while urging them to intensify their efforts in the protection of lives and properties.
The Executive Secretary of the LSSTF, Dr Ayodele Ogunsan, said in a statement on Tuesday that the presentation was made at the NNS Beecroft headquarters in Apapa, Lagos, as security agencies intensify preparations to protect lives, property and critical infrastructure across the state ahead of the forthcoming election period.
He noted that the intervention followed the Fund’s assessment of operational gaps within security formations across the state.
“It is a normal tradition as the Executive Secretary of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund to constantly visit all the security agencies in the state to see how they are doing, to ensure that we boost the morale of the officers and encourage the commanders,” the statement said.
Ogunsan added that the latest assessment at NNS Beecroft led to the provision of the protective equipment, while further interventions were being considered.
