As part of efforts to secure lives and property of citizens and residents of Osun state, Governor Ademola Adeleke has ordered immediate establishment of State Security Trust Fund noting that this was done in response to logistic and operational needs of the security agencies.

A statement made available toTeam@orientactualmags.com  by Adeleke’s Special Adviser , Mallam Olawale Rasheed noted that the governor has also directed a 5 -Member Committee to work out the modalities for the take off of the fund as quickly as possible.

The governor also said  the Fund will operate on a public-private Partnership model in close collaboration with corporate organizations, business communities, industrialists and critical stakeholders.

‘The Fund will be deployed for the provision of material and logistic support for security agencies in the state.

To instill confidence and achieve set goals, the committee will include members of the security agencies with a view to proffering solutions to security challenges facing the state.

Members of the Organized Private Sector will also be included to serve as a vehicle to institutionalize an enduring public private partnership approach to the resource problems of security institutions’ the statement added.

The governor, who commended the security agencies for their painstaking efforts in safeguarding lives and property in the state,  disclosed that he recently discussed close partnership with the Inspector General of Police in Abuja.

‘We must ramp up protection of lives and property. We cannot achieve this goal without properly equipping and strengthening our security agencies. Our administration is committed to achieving a fully secured state to complement ongoing reconstruction and recovery process in the state.

But the operational and logistic needs of our security agencies are enormous. So, our best approach is a PPP arrangement through a State Security Trust Fund. We seek the buy in of the private sector. The implementation committee will soon roll out modalities for the actualization of this policy’  the governor  submitted-Team@orientactualmags.com
