The Executive Secretary/CEO of the Lagos State Security Trust Fund (LSSTF) has presented three brand new operational vehicles to the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Lagos. This is as he received the Commander of the Lagos-owned special force, CSP Shola Jejeloye who paid him a courtesy visit in his office today Friday 16th January 2026.
The new RRS operational vehicles continue the spotlight of LSSTF’s ongoing commitment to shore up the capacity of all security agencies in Lagos by providing much-needed security infrastructure.
During the courtesy visit, the RRS Commander, Shola Jejeloye expressed profound appreciation to Dr. Ogunsan for his visible leadership and notable achievements since assuming office in October 2025.
He described the LSSTF’s support as critical to the operational effectiveness of security agencies in Lagos State, noting that timely provision of logistics significantly enhances rapid response and crime prevention.
‘We don’t have any challenge that will not make us deliver. So we thank you very much for all the support you have rendered to us.’
CSP Jejeloye further appealed to the LSSTF to consider the repair, refurbishment, and rebranding of the RRS’s existing operational vehicles.
According to him, such intervention would extend the lifespan of the fleet by at least five years, improve operational efficiency, and ensure a more consistent security presence across key areas of the state.
‘We are still looking forward to more support. We have some operational vehicles that are not working currently. We want to ensure that what we have we are putting them to active and judicious use.’
In his response, Dr. Ayo Ogunsan reaffirmed the LSSTF’s unwavering support for security agencies and commended the RRS for its professionalism, resilience, and sustained efforts in maintaining peace and order in Lagos.
He described the RRS as a critical pillar in the state’s security architecture, ‘RRS is directly under our purview, you are our own Police, it doesn’t make sense if we are doing for others and not for you’, he stated, noting that the impact of RRS is evident in the rapid containment of emergencies and security threats which has improved public confidence.
Dr. Ogunsan assured the Commander that the request for refurbishment and rebranding of existing vehicles would be given due consideration.
‘Any organization that has over 100 vehicles in its fleet will have issues like this. We are thinking of a workshop where security agencies can come and pay for repairs, we are still looking at its workability. We are also looking at robust trainings for officers and we seek your input to work on the curriculum and facilitators who are experienced ex-officers. We want to change the narrative of what people think about policing.’
The LSSTF CEO, Ogunsan highly praised the RRS Commander, CSP Shola Jejeloye for his tough stance of best practices. ‘People actually need to study you. You are a principled Police officer, firm and friendly, many don’t see that friendly part of you because you do not know how to compromise on the kind of operations that you do on a daily basis.’
‘I appreciate the good things you do and I am happy to work with you. You have done it at the Lagos State Task Force and you are on the right track on this, I will support you,’ Ogunsan said.
Members of the Commander’s entourage included the Second-in-Command, RRS, ASP Oladele Ajayi; Officer Commanding Communications, RRS, ASP Dipo Olurinde; and Osunmirem Sunday.
Also present at the meeting were the LSSTF Director of Administration, Mr. Degbola Lewis, and the Executive Assistant to the CEO, Mrs. Adaobi Nwankwo.
