The newly appointed Minister of State, Police Affairs, His Excellency, Hon Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim is a round peg in a round Hole.

So when she was assigned to the Police Ministry, a few who do not know her or who have not seen her rich resume may dismiss it on the basis of the fact that she is known to be an administrator who made a success out of NAPTIP and the entire humanitarian sector, not knowing that she is a security expert….CONTINUE READING

Imaan earned a BSC in Sociology from the University of Abuja, and at the age of 21, she secured two Master’s Degrees, a Master’s of Business Administration (MBA) and a Master’s of Art in Management (MA), both from Webster University, St Louis, Missouri (London Campus).

Imaan is the Co-Founder/President of The Beehive Initiative, which is now the BumbleeBee Civic Initiative, a platform focused on nurturing and mentoring politically inclined women and creating grassroots civic awareness.

She served as Special Assistant – Strategic Communication and Partnerships to the Minister of State for Education from August 2019 to December 2020, where she championed the innovative Alternate School Programme that secured FEC approval.

She was appointed DG of The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, where she contributed immensely to the plights of trafficked persons and worked assiduously towards strengthening the national response to addressing irregular migration.

Subsequently she was drafted to the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons as Federal Commissioner, where she left indelible marks in integrating Persons of Concerns and other policies that will outlive her.
