NWDC's Shehu Ma’aji Proposes Security Partnership with Police

On October 22, 2026, Professor Shehu Abdullahi Ma’aji, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the North-West Development Commission (NWDC), visited Mr. Tunji Disu, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), at the Nigeria Police Force Headquarters, Louis Edet House, Abuja. The purpose of the visit was to strengthen collaboration between the NWDC and the Nigeria Police Force to enhance security, particularly in community policing and development activities across the North-West region.

Professor Ma’aji proposed a partnership that includes the restoration of police convoy attachment to ensure safe movement for himself and his team during project inspections. He emphasized the necessity of this request due to ongoing security challenges in the region.

Additionally, he expressed the NWDC's willingness to support the Nigeria Police Force by providing critical infrastructure and equipment. IGP Disu welcomed the proposal and assured prompt consideration, highlighting the importance of collaboration with development institutions.
