Ex-IGP Abubakar Adamu: Economic Growth is Key to Reducing Crime in Nigeria

Former Inspector General of Police, Abubakar Adamu, has emphasized that promoting economic development is a critical strategy for preventing crime in Nigeria.

 In a recent article, he explained that when communities have access to jobs, skills, and inclusive growth opportunities, it becomes possible to shift mindsets, rebuild public trust, and create lasting peace.

Reflecting on his life after leaving the police force, Adamu shared that he has focused his attention on contributing to national development as an active citizen, particularly in his home state of Nasarawa.

 He praised Governor Abdullahi Sule’s leadership, describing the governor as a visionary who is successfully driving the Nasarawa Economic Development Strategy (NEDS) toward making the state one of the most competitive in Nigeria
