About the Conference
Turning security challenges into progress for every citizen.
Kaduna International Security Conference (KISC) 2026
The Kaduna International Security Conference (KSIC) is an annual focused, international security and development forum hosted by Kaduna State Government and promoted by JP Baker Ltd.
KISC was established in response to the evolving security realities facing Kaduna State and the wider Northern Nigerian region — including terrorism, insurgency, banditry, kidnapping, farmer–herder conflicts, and transnational crime.
The Conference provides a neutral, credible space where policy meets practice, and where security strategies are discussed alongside economic resilience, investment protection, and community stability.
Our Vision
To position Kaduna State as a regional leader in security innovation, collaboration, and sustainable economic development.
Our Mission
- To convene decision-makers and practitioners who shape security outcomes
- To promote coordinated, intelligence-led, and technology-enabled security responses
- To strengthen investor confidence through transparency, dialogue, and reform
KISC also lays the groundwork for a future Global Security Conference, bringing together all regional leaders to collectively address shared security challenges
