As SP Abimbola Adebisi marks her birthday today Saturday 10th January, 2026, she stands tall as a shining example of professional excellence, commitment to duty, and effective Police–public engagement in Nigeria’s commercial nerve centre and West Africa’s economic hub, Lagos, National Association of Online Security News Publishers, NAOSNP can report.
SP Abimbola Adebisi’s assumption of office as the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Lagos State Command a few months ago, was not merely a change in designation; it was a strategic reinforcement of the Command’s communication architecture. Appointed by the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, her posting reflected confidence in her competence and capacity to manage public information in a complex, fast-paced, and highly dynamic environment like Lagos.
From the moment she assumed duty, SP Abimbola Adebisi has brought uncommon energy and professionalism to the role. In a Command as busy and expansive as Lagos State Police Command and under the leadership of the superlative and Anti-Crime award winning CP Olohundare Moshood Jimoh, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command where policing never sleeps, she has proven to be consistently present, responsive, and reliable. Whether during early-morning briefings, late-night operations, high-level security engagements, physically tasking shows of force, or community-focused programmes, SP Adebisi remains fully gallant, engaged, reflecting a deep understanding that public trust is built through visibility, consistency, and credible communication.
Working closely with the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Olohundare Jimoh, SP Adebisi has become a dependable partner in projecting the Command’s vision and activities. She complements the leadership of the CP effectively, ensuring that police initiatives, security operations, and public advisories are promptly and accurately communicated. Her unwavering presence at command activities, regardless of distance or timing, demonstrates a strong work ethic and loyalty to the mission of the Force.
SP Abimbola Adebisi possesses a strong academic background which has been a major asset in her effectiveness as the Lagos Police PRO. With a BA (Ed) in English Language and Literature, a Postgraduate Diploma in Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution, and a Master’s degree in English Language, SP Adebisi brings intellectual depth and articulate clarity to police communications. Her messages are not only informative but measured, empathetic, and aligned with community policing values.
As an Associate of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) and a member of respected international policing and public relations bodies such as International Public Relations Association (IPRA), the International Association of Women Police (IAWP), and the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP). SP Abimbola Adebisi represents the modern Nigerian Police officer who is globally aware, professionally grounded, and locally responsive.
Her professional training in child protection, human rights, psychology, conflict management, and advanced detective work has given her a holistic approach to public relations and internal coordination. She holds the Certificate in Child Protection from the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre, Accra, Ghana, alongside certifications in Human Rights, Human Psychology, and Conflict Management, and has equally attended the Advanced Detective Course at the Police Staff College, Jos. This broad exposure allows her to interpret Police activities within wider social, legal, and human contexts, which is a very essential skill in today’s security landscape.
SP Adebisi’s career path reflects years of trust-based responsibilities at the highest levels of the Nigeria Police Force. Her service as Police Public Relations Liaison Officer at the SPU, Force Headquarters, Abuja; Staff Officer to the Deputy Inspector-General of Police (Operations); and as Personal Assistant to the Commissioner of Police, Special Protection Unit, speaks volumes about her reliability, discretion, and administrative strength. These experiences have shaped her into a disciplined officer who understands both operational demands and strategic communication.

Donald Peterson PhD: Quiet Leadership, Measurable Impact and New Model for Sustainable Development
Donald Peterson, PhD, President and Founder of the D-Peterson Foundation, represents a rare blend of academic excellence, policy leadership, and grassroots impact in Nigeria’s development space. Though not one to court publicity, his influence has steadily grown through the consistent, life-changing interventions of his Foundation and his strategic role in public service.
Often described as a man who prefers to achieve great things quietly, Dr. Peterson has built a reputation anchored on substance rather than spectacle. His work has increasingly drawn national and international attention, particularly as Nigeria confronts rising challenges in education, youth unemployment, women’s economic inclusion, and community development.
Dr. Peterson currently serves as Special Adviser to the Delta State Government on Entrepreneurship Development, where he plays a key role in translating policy ideas into practical, community-based solutions. In this capacity, he has helped shape entrepreneurial ecosystems that encourage innovation, job creation, and sustainable economic growth, ensuring that development policies reach the grassroots and deliver measurable results.
Public recognition of his work intensified following the growing footprint of the D-Peterson Foundation, a nonprofit organisation committed to youth development, education, and community empowerment. Through structured programmes and long-term interventions, the Foundation has consistently supported between 100 and 200 students annually with access to higher education, empowered women through targeted business grants, and equipped young people with vocational, digital, and technology-focused skills designed to improve employability and self-reliance.
Speaking at the Foundation’s 2025 Yuletide outreach programme for the less privileged, Dr. Peterson articulated the driving force behind the organisation. He explained that the Foundation was established out of a deep sense of urgency and responsibility to contribute meaningfully to society. According to him, its mission is to add value through sustainable youth development and community empowerment, while its core philosophy centres on raising purpose-driven individuals by unlocking human potential for long-term growth and development.
From 2014 to 2025, the D-Peterson Foundation has recorded significant, data-backed impact across multiple sectors. Over 2,000 students have benefited from higher education support, 300 students are currently enrolled in technology training programmes, more than 900 women have received business grants to strengthen economic independence, 1,000 youths have acquired vocational skills, and over 5,000 students have benefited from improved learning environments in schools across different communities.
Addressing the relevance of new foundations in a country already home to numerous charitable organisations, Dr. Peterson has consistently argued that Nigeria’s complex social and economic realities require diverse and innovative responses. He has noted that while existing foundations play important roles, many communities and issues remain underserved. New initiatives, he believes, introduce fresh perspectives, expand resources, and promote collaboration, ultimately leading to more effective solutions and stronger social outcomes.
Beyond philanthropy and governance, Dr. Peterson is widely regarded as an accomplished scholar. He holds two Bachelor of Science degrees in Economics and Business Administration and four Master’s degrees in Business Administration, Financial Economics, and Economics, obtained in the United Kingdom and Nigeria. He has earned a PhD in Economics from the United Kingdom and a PhD in Finance in Nigeria, and is currently completing his Doctor of Business Administration thesis. His academic career includes multiple peer-reviewed research publications and extensive leadership and management training programmes across global institutions, reflecting a commitment to continuous learning and intellectual growth.
Dr. Peterson’s influence also extends to faith-based and community advocacy. Ordained as an Elder of the Perfect Tabernacle Church in Delta State in December 2023, he has remained a vocal advocate for widows, youth, and vulnerable populations, particularly within Ika land. He is also a strong proponent of educational advancement, supporting learners from primary through tertiary levels.
His work has attracted international recognition and honours over the years. These include the Excellent Merit Award from the Mayor of Bonn, Germany in 2013, the Innovation Award of the Year in Nollywood presented by Golden Globe Media in Frankfurt in 2013, the Award of Excellence and Innovation in the Oil and Gas Sector in Paris, France in 2014, the Kwame Nkrumah Grow Africa Prize for Excellence in Ghana in 2024, and the Achievers Awards International Award of Excellence in Leadership and Entrepreneurial Development, as well as the D-Peterson Foundation Outstanding NGO of the Year award in Tanzania in 2025.
At the core of Dr. Peterson’s work is a leadership philosophy defined by integrity, transparency, compassion, and results. His integrated approach to development recognises the strong link between education, economic empowerment, technology advancement, and community wellbeing. Through the convergence of academic excellence, entrepreneurial innovation, and compassionate leadership, Donald Peterson, PhD, continues to set a compelling example of how purposeful leadership can drive sustainable transformation in Nigeria and across Africa.

Aare Emmanuelking commended the state’s ongoing transformation through investments in infrastructure, economic expansion, and human capital development, adding that sustainable growth is deliberate and must remain purpose-driven.
