IAWPA Nigeria Advocates for Enhanced Security Collaboration
The International Association of World Peace Advocates (IAWPA) Nigeria, which holds special consultative status with the United Nations (ECOSOC), has advocated for the establishment of regular joint operations and intelligence sharing among security agencies to enhance efficiency and reduce duplication. This call was made during a national stakeholders security dialogue themed “Policing for Peace: Building Synergy for a Safer Nigeria.” The IAWPA urged federal, state, and local governments to bolster community policing, recruit local personnel, and engage citizens through town hall meetings and neighborhood watch programs.
A communique issued after the event, which commemorated the United Nations 2026 International Day of the Police Cooperation, mandated IAWPA Nigeria to continue its advocacy for peace education across Nigeria. The communique also emphasized the need for ongoing training of security personnel in human rights and modern policing techniques, while promoting the inclusion of youth and women in peace and security frameworks.
