Dr. Halima Ahmed Usman, Ph.D., the Senior Legislative Aide to the President of the Senate on Human Development, Humanitarian Affairs, and Digital Economy, recently praised Assistant Inspector General (AIG) Dr. Aisha Abubakar Baju for her impactful leadership within the Nigeria Police Force and her dedication to strengthening security and human capacity development in Nigeria.
AIG Baju, who has served in the force for nearly 30 years, is widely celebrated for her groundbreaking role as the first female elected Monitor General at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) for the Senior Executive Course 44 in 2022. This historic achievement exemplifies her commitment to strategic policy-making and her pivotal influence within Nigeria’s law enforcement landscape. Known for her deep dedication to the welfare of officers and the advancement of policing standards, AIG Baju’s work has continuously elevated both the role of women in law enforcement and the professional standards within the Nigeria Police Force.
Dr. Usman highlighted AIG Baju’s recent efforts in organizing the 2024 International Association of Women Police Africa Chapter Training Conference. This event, chaired by AIG Baju, focuses on equipping female officers across the continent with essential skills and fostering cross-border cooperation to combat security threats. According to Dr. Halima, such initiatives are essential for advancing gender equity in law enforcement and building a stronger, more cohesive security framework across Africa.
“AIG Dr. Aisha Abubakar Baju’s leadership exemplifies a blend of intellect, dedication, and passion,” Dr. Halima stated. “Her accomplishments inspire us all, particularly young women aspiring to serve their country with integrity and purpose. She is a beacon of hope and a role model for those looking to create meaningful change within Nigeria.”
Dr. Halima commended AIG Baju’s ongoing commitment to initiatives that bridge security, human development, and economic stability. As a leader in both security and veterinary science, AIG Baju’s diverse expertise enhances her approach to policing, emphasizing both community and inter-agency collaboration. In her capacity as President of the Veterinary Council of Nigeria (VCN), she has also championed advanced veterinary services, including strengthening research at the National Veterinary Research Institute, further underscoring her multifaceted contributions to Nigeria.
With advocates like Dr. Halima Usman recognizing and supporting AIG Baju’s contributions, the future looks promising for a more inclusive, secure, and progressive Nigeria. Their shared dedication to advancing human development and security standards signals a positive path forward for the nation.
