About Us
About ABLE
In 2004 a group of likeminded British-Nigerian Law Enforcement officers felt the need to reverse the negative perception towards Nigeria and Nigerians in the UK. One of the goals was to promote contributions Nigerians Were making within their various agencies.
Despite the current challenges being faced by Nigeria, we believe that if we pull our resources together, this can be tackled. We must continue to believe in ourselves and be ready to give Nigeria our best. Majority of Nigerians are sincere and hardworking citizens wherever they find themselves. It is important to celebrate and appreciate ourselves and continue to portray ourselves as such.
Our Mission
To promote the positive image of Nigeria and Nigerians in the UK through community engagement and collaboration with various UK & Nigerian law enforcement agencies, and support members career development.

ABLE ACHIEVEMENTS
We continue to raise awareness on issues of immigration, anti-smuggling, human trafficking and changes in legislation that have an impact on Nigerians through outreach to Churches, Mosques and, Community Leaders.
ABLE was invited to participate in the Nigerian Police High Command Retreat in Abuja. In the same year we were invited to the first Nigerian internal security summit hosted by the ministry of Interior where some of our recommendations were to be taken forward.
We organised a symposium for Law Enforcement, Engaging the Nigerian community that was facilitated by His Excellency Dr Dalhatu Sari Tafida (OFRCFR) and attended by the heads of Nigerian and British government.
We facilitated an interactive session between Nigerians in the Diaspora and the Minister of Police Affairs supported by the newly appointed IGP. It was an opportunity to explore how we could support NFP and give our views on how NFP could improve.
ABLE initiated and facilitated the first Home Office consultation process where the Nigerian community’s views were taken into consideration for policy formulation.
Since 2009 to date, we have taken on the responsibility of raising awareness on Assisted Voluntary Returns (AVR) across the UK working closely with FCO, Choices and UK Immigration. This is a scheme which enables illegal migrants in the UK to return to their home country in dignity and respect, without being criminalised and some financial assistance is provided for the individual to settle.
At ABLE, we invite you to be a part of our mission, to contribute your skills, knowledge, and passion towards creating a more united and empowered British Nigerian community.
