Being a gathering of experts in the field of psychology, alongside stakeholders and representatives from security agencies, the National Congress of the association is aimed to explore how psychological methods can be applied effectively for the nation’s development.

National president of the association, Professor Harry Obi-Nwosu emphasized that the Congress was carefully planned to prompt discussions on Nigeria’s development path in the 21st century, underlining the urgent need for forensic psychologists’ deliberate involvement in planning and executing development projects, particularly those with significant security implications.

“Indeed, it is only when adequate attention is paid to psychological health of citizens at all levels that we can hope to reduce corruption and begin a meaningful process at sustainable development: the time is now”.

Declaring the Congress open, the acting vice Chancellor, Nasarawa state University Keffi, Professor Abdullahi Sallau Modibbo, appraised the university’s vibrant psychology department, led by dedicated professors like Professor Andrew Zamani, stressing the significance of forensic psychology in societal development.
