The National President of the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Hon. Engr. Bello Lawal, has led a high-powered delegation to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Olatunji Rilwan Disu, at Force Headquarters, Abuja, to reinforce strategic collaboration between ALGON and the Nigeria Police Force.
The delegation comprised key ALGON Executives, including Chief Odunayo Ategbero (Chairman, Board of Trustees), Barr. (Mrs.) Evan Enekwe (Acting Director General), Hon. Alabi Kolade (former National President), alongside Senator Alphonsus Ubanesse. 
During the meeting, Hon. Lawal reaffirmed ALGON’s commitment to supporting the Nigeria Police in combating insecurity across Nigeria’s 774 local government areas.

In his response, the IGP Disu welcomed the delegation and expressed gratitude for ALGON’s longstanding support, including the donation of operational vehicles (ALGON PRADO JEEPS) in the early 2000s. He assured the association of the Police Force’s readiness to deploy resources effectively and leverage his experience in rapid response and community engagement. “Your visit is deeply appreciated. We will continue to build on our shared commitment to secure lives and property,” he said.
