The summit is scheduled to hold on Wednesday, 10 December 2025, at the Nigeria National Merit Award House, Maitama, Abuja, starting at 10 a.m. prompt. The event will bring together security experts, government officials, emergency response personnel, and civil society leaders to discuss strategies for collaborative security approaches across Nigeria.
