Ms Yemisi Jenkins MBE, President of the Association of British Nigerian Law Enforcement (ABLE) Officers, welcomed delegates to the United Kingdom on Wednesday, 14 October 2026, during the Meet and Greet marking the beginning of the Duchess International Magazine Leadership Summit 2026 in Brighton. Held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole, the gathering provided an opportunity for delegates to connect ahead of the summit\u2019s main activities, setting a welcoming tone for the three-day programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following Ms Jenkins\u2019 welcome, delegates took turns introducing themselves, sharing their names and professional backgrounds to help participants become better acquainted. The introductions created an opportunity for delegates from different professional fields to learn about one another, exchange perspectives and begin building relationships that would support meaningful engagement throughout the summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
