“Ahead of the Forum, the IGP will on 15th September 2025 hold a bilateral meeting with the Deputy Minister of Public Security of China, Mr. Qi Yanjun. Discussions will focus on enhancing security cooperation, intelligence sharing, capacity building, and strengthening law enforcement ties between Nigeria and China.

“The attendance of IGP Egbetokun at this global platform underscores the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to international security collaboration, intelligence-driven policing, and proactive responses to emerging security threats.

“It equally reaffirms Nigeria’s position as a responsible global partner in shaping the future of public security and law enforcement.”, the police national image manager stated.
