Expert Security Services in Abuja for International Businesses and Delegations
As international trade and investment activity between the United Kingdom and Nigeria continues to grow, demand for reliable security services in Nigeria, especially in Lagos and Abuja, has been increasing significantly as well. As a leading security company in Nigeria, we provide professional corporate security, executive protection and secure transportation services for international business travellers and trade delegations visiting Nigeria.
It is now over two years since the UK-Nigeria Enhanced Trade and Investment Partnership (ETIP) was signed. One of the industry sectors targeted for growth by the ETIP Agreement is education. Indeed, several well-known UK schools have already opened additional institutions in Nigeria, with UK universities also announcing the development of high-quality transnational education programmes in collaboration with the Nigerian Universities Commission.
With office locations across Nigeria, we are well placed to support our international Clients. Strategically located in Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory, our Abuja office is experienced in supporting Clients attending meetings with federal ministries and senior government officials. Our experienced teams regularly coordinate security operations for high-profile visitors, multinational organisations and international delegates.
Supporting an International Education Delegation in Nigeria
We were recently engaged to provide expert security services in Abuja and Lagos for a prominent UK education institution visiting Nigeria for a series of high-level meetings and events. The assignment involved supporting international delegates attending meetings, networking events and official functions at multiple university campuses across Nigeria.
Due to the complexity of the itinerary, the operation required detailed planning, logistical coordination and continuous operational oversight to be able to respond quickly to changing requirements. We delivered a comprehensive security support package including:
Advanced Security Survey Reports (ASR) prepared by our Security Threat Analysis Team identifying security threats and mitigation measures, which was crucial in maintaining operational clarity in a dynamic environment
Airport security assistance and Fast Track services, including personalised Meet and Greet services at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja and Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos
Secure onward transportation using Armed Police Escort Services (MOPOL) to safely transport all delegates to their hotel accommodation and meeting venues
24-hour operational coordination and control room monitoring
The week-long visit was completed successfully without incident, with our teams demonstrating the professionalism, responsiveness and operational discipline for which we are known throughout Nigeria.
