ASIS International Chapter 206 Lagos has reaffirmed its commitment to leverage its network of security professionals to advance security policies and enhance societal safety.

The group made the commitment during its recent AGM in Lagos, a major highlight of which was the election of its 2025 leaders.

Outgoing Vice Chairman of the group, Mr. Adedeji Oduba, was elected as incoming chairman, joined by Mr. Olufemi Kayode as Vice Chairman, Mr. Imeh Udofia as Secretary, and Ms. Stella Okoh as Treasurer.

Outgoing Chairman, Mrs. Joko Olanitori, reflected on the Chapter’s commitment to impactful collaboration with governmental and regulatory bodies, driving meaningful security initiatives for a safer society.

She also celebrated membership growth, including 30 new international members and 14 local affiliates, increasing total membership to nearly 400.

Olanitori highlighted the chapter’s leadership in student membership and certifications, noting an increase from 188 to 210 certified members, including five double and four triple-certified members.

ASIS Regional Vice President, Mr. Reuben Odum, administered the oath of office to the new leadership, urging them to build on Olanitori’s successful tenure.

Chapter 206 contributed 82 per cent membership to Region 11A, a testament to her focus on member engagement and certification.

Incoming Chairman, Oduba, pledged to uphold high standards, foster collaboration and advance policies beneficial to members.

He underscored the significance of the upcoming ASIS Sub-Saharan African Conference (SASCON) in Lagos in July 2025 as an opportunity for regional cooperation and another opportunity for the Lagos Chapter to affirm its leadership and excellence.

The AGM also recognised outstanding members and industry partners with awards of excellence.
