Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Lenders Consult, Dr. Shina Phillips has commended Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma for consistently prioritising security, describing the state’s repeated hosting of CARSPO as evidence of his continued commitment to security.
Shina Phillips, who was represented at CARSPO 2026 by Mr. Nelson Olafisoye, praised the governor’s consistent support for initiatives focused on strengthening security and improving policing.
Phillip noted that the latest edition of the Conference and Retreat for Senior Police Officers marked the third time Imo State had hosted the programme.
According to him, the three editions were held under three different Inspectors-General of Police, making the repeated hosting significant in demonstrating the state government’s sustained interest in security matters.
He said the development reflected Governor Uzodinma’s continued desire to ensure that security remains a major priority in Imo State.
Philip also commended President Bola Tinubu, senior police officers and other stakeholders for maintaining their interest in and commitment to the CARSPO programme.
He said the continued participation of key stakeholders underscored the importance attached to discussions surrounding policing, security and the challenges confronting law enforcement in Nigeria.
According to Philips, CARSPO was designed to encourage police officers to engage in continuous discussions and deliberations on ways to strengthen policing and address security challenges in the country.
He urged participants at the 2026 edition to take full advantage of the platform by exchanging views and developing ideas that could contribute to better policing.
Phillip said the deliberations should help generate ideas capable of supporting improved policing and strengthening security across the country.
He further encouraged participants to remain focused on the objectives of the programme and use the opportunity to examine ways of improving the effectiveness of policing in Nigeria.
The Lenders Consult representative also expressed appreciation to the organisers for putting the programme together and commended the participants for their involvement in the discussions.
He thanked members of the Nigerian press for attending the event and helping to bring the proceedings to a wider audience.
Philip concluded by wishing the organisers, participants and other attendees safe journeys as they returned to their various destinations.

DNKI President Champions Humanitarian Service, Sustainable Community Development
Cyril Samania
The President of De Norsemen Kclub International (DNKI), Chief Oliver Patrick Ityohegh, has reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to humanitarian service, stressing the importance of supporting vulnerable people and improving community welfare beyond the annual celebration of Humanitarian Day.
Ityohegh stated this during the organisation’s Cauldron Night and Award Presentation held to commemorate its 2026 Humanitarian Day celebration, theme: “Humanity First: Advancing Hope, Dignity and Community Well-being.” organised by the DNKI Abuja Chapter.
He emphasised that humanitarian service should be a continuous responsibility driven by compassion, solidarity and a commitment to making a meaningful difference in society.
According to him, DNKI’s humanitarian activities reflect its dedication to giving back to society and supporting people in need, while encouraging members to sustain initiatives that promote human dignity and community well-being.
He added that the organisation would continue to strengthen its humanitarian engagements through practical interventions aimed at improving the lives of vulnerable people and promoting community development.
Speaking at the event, the representative of the Abuja Chapter Chairman and Chairman of its Advisory Council, Prince Efiong Okpe, said the organisation’s humanitarian activities extended beyond the annual celebration of Humanitarian Day on October 15.
Okpe explained that DNKI undertook several initiatives throughout the year, including blood donation exercises, visits to hospitals and correctional centres, as well as support for orphanages and other vulnerable groups.
According to him, the organisation also collaborated with humanitarian bodies in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to identify areas of need and provide assistance within its available resources.
He described Humanitarian Day as an opportunity for members to renew their commitment to service and demonstrate solidarity with people facing difficult circumstances.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Planning Committee and Coordinator of the DNKI Gwagwalada Zone, Mr Etudaiye Hamzat, disclosed that the chapter had provided financial assistance to some members to help pay their children’s school fees, alongside distributing bags of rice and other relief items to members experiencing hardship.
Hamzat explained that the interventions followed concerns over the difficulties some members faced in meeting their family responsibilities, particularly the rising cost of their children’s education.
He maintained that supporting members in need was consistent with the organisation’s humanitarian principles, adding that DNKI remained committed to extending assistance to non-members and vulnerable communities as part of its commitment to leading by example.
Looking ahead, Hamzat said the Abuja Chapter planned to expand its humanitarian outreach to remote communities within the FCT, with particular attention to orphanages, schools and widows facing difficulties in meeting their family responsibilities.
He also recalled previous interventions for internally displaced persons (IDPs), which included the distribution of food, clothing and educational materials, noting that the chapter intended to scale up such initiatives in the coming year.
The highlight of the event was the presentation of awards to outstanding members and distinguished non-members in recognition of their contributions to humanitarian service.
