Rtd. DIG Zanna M.

Ibrahim, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Nigeria Police Trust Fund (NPTF), led a strategic retreat in Abuja from September 15 to 16, 2026. The retreat, themed “Building a Shared Understanding of the Mandate and Operations of the Nigeria Police Trust Fund and Fostering Effective Collaboration for Seamless Oversight,” aimed to clarify the governance and oversight roles of the Board versus the Management's administrative functions.

Ibrahim emphasized the importance of transparency, accountability, and effective communication for institutional performance. The retreat included participation from the Executive Secretary, senior Management officials, and the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Police Affairs.

Distinguished resource persons, including Professor Nasreedeen, Dr. Zakari Zakari Lawal, and Dr. Maimuna Salim, contributed insights on governance and public-sector management. Key discussions revolved around improving Board-Management relations, strategic planning, and enhancing the NPTF's role in modernizing the Nigeria Police Force, particularly in welfare, infrastructure, and training.
