Mantra Delivers Expert Guards and Security Solutions for Large Commercial Sites in Nigeria
In our recent Year End Security Advisory developed by our in-house Security Threat Analysis Team, we highlighted how economic hardship, unemployment and weak law enforcement capacity continue to exacerbate insecurity across Nigeria.
In response to these challenges and as a result of concerns raised by several of our clients operating major commercial facilities, we at Mantra are experiencing an increase in requests for professional Guard Force deployments to large-scale commercial premises.
In addition to our wide client base, we are now providing professional Security Guard Services to a new range of large commercial developments within Lagos and the Southwest zone, including:
Pipeline construction and installation of petroleum refining equipment
Aluminium fabrication, metal construction and heavy-duty truck engine repair facilities
Tile and marble production facilities
Conversion of fuel generators and trucks into CNG modules
These complex business operations present unique security challenges that require highly trained, professional security guards to maintain a safe and secure environment.
Specialised Training for Guard Force Deployed to Large Commercial Premises
As part of our commitment to provide targeted skills development, our Guard Force personnel receive focused training to build competence in essential security areas, including risk assessment, access control and emergency response. This enables them to identify threats proactively, manage site access effectively and respond appropriately to incidents at a Client’s premises.
Before deployment to a large commercial development, our guards receive additional industry-specific training, which is designed to understand the Client’s unique operating environment, assess key risks to the facility and identify the threats they are likely to face.
We ensure our Guard Force is trained in the extra tasks they will be expected to undertake at such a facility to help prevent property theft, including:
Access control for large volumes of goods, vehicles and personnel
Product identification and verification, ensuring product types and quantities exactly match supporting documentation
The number of guards deployed to a large-scale facility will depend on several factors, including the scale of the premises, the required guard shift pattern to provide 24-hour security protection and the number of identified vulnerability points where potential security breaches may occur.
As a leading security provider in Nigeria, we actively source and attract qualified security personnel through multiple channels, including partnerships with the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), proactive talent mapping and employee referral programs. This approach ensures we consistently bring in candidates with the right skills, experience and mindset to support our security operations.

Security Consultancy and Cutting-edge Technical Solutions
As part of our Security Consultancy Services, for companies with a large footprint to their premises, we use specialist drone equipment to complement onsite inspection in conducting detailed aerial risk assessments and security surveys of the location. We are then able to identify operational risks and create accurate, effective security plans to keep business premises and staff safe at all times.
Our Security Technology Teams are also able to provide advice and recommendations on the most advanced technical solutions to enhance the overall protection of the site. These solutions include ICU wireless network surveillance cameras and other traditional CCTV cameras.
During routine site visits and guard checks, we regularly interface with client representatives to solicit feedback on the performance of our Guard Force, including their professionalism, reliability and utmost commitment to their role. Please visit our Testimonials page to view the positive feedback we have received from current clients of our Security Guard Services.
