The meeting formed part of ongoing efforts to improve the protection and smooth delivery of critical public projects nationwide.

A statement shared by the Nigeria Police Force on X confirmed that the visit included talks with the Minister of Works, David Umahi, the Minister of State for Works, Bello Goronyo, and senior ministry directors.

During the discussions, officials focused on several ongoing road construction projects, including the important Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway. The parties also reviewed wider efforts aimed at boosting national growth, transport links, and economic development through improved infrastructure.

Speaking during the meeting, Olatunji Disu assured the ministry of continued police support for the protection of major public projects. According to the statement, the police leadership remains committed to ensuring that contractors and government agencies carry out their duties without disruption.
