As you are aware, this converges is coming at no better time than now.
We sincerely encourage you to be open-minded and contribute immensely to the discus of corporate security in an era of global security threats in Corporate Nigeria.
The safety of lives and property in today’s Nigeria and Africa, in general, is becoming worrisome; People, families, Private Organizations, and Government Agencies are really concerned about how our environment is being constantly exposed to various degrees of security threats; this imperatively has created tension in the various spheres of our economy. It has equally encouraged lawlessness, corruption, armed robbery, agitation, terrorism, and many more. All these have exposed our Nation to a great level of risk, conflicts, and insecurity.
It is gratifying to note that the agenda of the converge covers a wide range of very interesting items relating to security architectural design, security executives’ role, ways of identifying indicators of internal threats in a workplace, and other items that border on the security of lives and property.
This is an opportune time to renew contacts and discuss security issues of mutual interest with delegates from different MDA’s and private organizations
We encourage you to participate actively and extend your friendly gestures to all.
You are all welcome.
God bless you all.
God bless Akwa Ibom State.
God bless Nigeria.
