Prince Ifalade Ajasa Oyekan has royal blue blood running through his veins.
Just like his father, the immediate past highly revered Oba of Lagos Adeyinka Oyekan, Prince Oyekan is always diligent in his dealings and loves to leave delible footprints for the sake of posterity.
Over the years, Ifalade deviated from the norm by carving a niche for himself as a time-tested technocrat, boardroom guru, politician, and public servant with his affable personality, charismatic composure, and highly cerebral persona with witty demeanour.
The trained lawyer from the Lagos State University, with over two and a half decades of experience post-bar, has continued to make a loud statement after leaving the private sector, working with a big offshore dredging company for 16 years before venturing into public service acting in various capacities.
Since he was appointed General Manager of the Lagos State Neighborhood Safety Agency LNSA in 2021, Lagos has since witnessed a massive revamp and a restructure in its road map which has further made the agency a pride and envy of other government agencies in the state.
According to sources, the security agency’s template is being currently understudied by some state across the country that wants to establish such an innovative way of securing their state. With just over a year in charge of LNSA, the former head of Lagos State Law Enforcement Training Institute LETI has since scored a high point as dark spots across the state have been identified with robust reports, which have led to the crackdown of some elements who are hell-bent on causing unrest across the state.
Despite several threats, the Lagos Prince has reaffirmed publicly that he won’t back down in his drive to ensure a reduction in the crime rate across Lagos to the barest minimum if not eradicating it.
Despite several coordinated attacks on his person in an attempt to bring him down, his excellent works, keying into the Babajide Sanwoolu THEMES agenda further spoke well of him.
