Aminu’s PhD Thesis ‘Community Policing: Exploring the Police/Community Relationship for Crime Control in Nigeria' demonstrated a major breakthrough in the sociological understanding of police corruption in Nigeria.
His book, based on the same theme, has had a positive impact on the ground in the Nigeria, leading to more than £26million worth of investments from the Nigerian Government. It was also recognised by the Danish Refugee Council who invested almost £5million in community safety in north east Nigeria.
Aminu has been recognised for his significant volunteering contribution, particularly in the City of Liverpool. He has twice been recognised the Mayor of Liverpool, and recently by Merseyside Police for sitting on the Independent Advisory Group.
He has also served as a Director of the British Sociological Association, a school governor and an NHS Governor at Liverpool Women’s.
