The FCT Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Muhammed Sanusi,
has assured NAWOJ of the Command’s full support to guarantee a hitch free event for participants at its forthcoming Women in Security Summit.
CP Mohammed Sanusi gave the assurance on Thursday when members of the Organising Committee paid him a courtesy visit at the FCT Police Command in Abuja ahead of the WINSEC Summit and Awards 2026 scheduled for 30 June 2026.
He commended NAWOJ’s leadership for initiating the WINSEC Summit and Awards and said he was honored by the recognition.
The FCT Police Boss also pledged continued collaboration with NAWOJ FCT as host of the summit and reaffirmed the command’s commitment to initiatives that promote peace, security, and national development.
He said the partnerships between the media and security agencies remain vital to effective policing and public engagement.
Earlier, NAWOJ National Chairperson, Hajia Aisha Ibrahim, represented by Comrade Bassey Ita-Ikpang, Chairperson of the Contact and Mobilization Sub-Committee of WINSEC and NAWOJ FCT Chairperson, called for deeper collaboration between the media and security institutions to advance national peace, security, and inclusive governance.
She thanked FCT Commissioner of Police CP Ahmed Mohammed Sanusi for granting the association an audience despite his busy schedule.
Hajia Ibrahim said WINSEC, which stands for Women in Security Summit, will serve as a platform to bridge conversations, build partnerships, and promote greater inclusion of women in Nigeria’s security architecture.
She explained that the summit will bring together stakeholders from security agencies, the media, governance, civil society, and policy circles to discuss security, peacebuilding, gender inclusion, leadership, and national development. According to her, the event is intended as more than a one-off gathering, but a movement to amplify women’s role in security discourse and recognize individuals and institutions contributing to peace and stability.
Hajia Ibrahim commended the Nigeria Police Force for remaining one of the closest security institutions to the people while praising the FCT Command under CP Mohammed Sanusi for demonstrating professionalism, strategic coordination, and commitment in tackling security challenges in the nation’s capital.
She described the Commissioner’s leadership style as impactful and inspiring, noting that his approach has helped build public trust and confidence among residents and stakeholders.
The initiative, organized by NAWOJ National in partnership with the Nigeria Union of Journalists, media houses, and Crime Reporters Global Nigeria, is designed to strengthen ties between the media and security sector.
The WINSEC Summit and Awards 2026 is expected to draw participants from across the country while further details on speakers, awardees, and participation will be announced in the lead-up to the event.
