Dr. Chris Adigwu, The National President Association of Licensed Private Security Practitioners of Nigeria (ALPSPN), in his statement revealed five major reasons stakeholders should attend the Private Security Industry Summit:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. To understand the anatomy of the private security industry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You’ll understand the different stakeholders in the private security industry and their roles. You’ll equally understand your role in protecting your assets, your immediate environment, and Nigeria as a whole.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You’ll have a mindset shift in how you see private security companies and the industry in the 21st century. This’ll help you know how to source for and collaborate with reliable companies, improve your security, and better prevent avoidable losses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. You’ll understand the different ways private security can help improve your bottom line and promotion of productivity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. You’ll explore business opportunities with the over 2,000 stakeholders attending the conference.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. You’ll be updated on the current security conversations, global trends, and strategies in the industry. This way, you’ll be better informed to make the right decisions in your investments in security.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. You’ll understand how to collaborate and get the best out of your security service provider.

Audi, Commandant General: Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) as Co-host, and the Chief Host is Hon.
