President Tinubu launch Town Hall Meeting in Lagos on Renewed Hope

In an effort to support community policing and encourage Nigerians to support his administration’s Renewed Hope Police agenda, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will open the Renewed Hope Police Town Hall Meeting in Lagos on Monday.

Hon. Imaan Sulaiman- Ibrahim, Minister of State for Police Affairs, announced on Thursday in Abuja that she would be meeting with stakeholders in Lagos on Monday.

In line with international best practices, she continued, town hall meetings would be held throughout Nigeria to give Nigerians a chance to voice their opinions on matters pertaining to the safety of people and property.

The minister went on to say that she was aware that every community had unique security issues and was unique and different. Community policing will therefore be customised to each community’s needs in order to meet its challenges.

Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, Speaker of the House of Assembly, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the governor of Lagos State, and members of the State House of Assembly are anticipated guests.

Other people include academics, young people, women in groups, leaders in religion, and traditional leaders.

On Monday, we are going to have our first town hall meeting in Lagos; there will be others throughout the nation. The main goal would be to consult with stakeholders about how to improve community policing, as well as to hear their opinions about police reforms and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s resurrected hope police agenda, which I have a duty to promote and carry out.

Additionally, it will raise awareness among all Nigerians of the importance of supporting the Federal Republic of Nigeria’s transition to a world-class 21st-century police force.

We recognise that every community has unique security challenges, so our discussions and solutions will be specifically tailored to address these issues. The governor, speaker, and members of the House of Assembly, as well as representatives from traditional and religious institutions, women’s groups, young people, and other groups, are expected.

“Basically, it’s just to stimulate thought processes and talk about the new problems in light of our current national realities.”
