The Federal Government has announced plans to review the Private Security Companies Act of 1986 to align it with current security realities and international best practices.

Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, made the revelation on Wednesday in Abuja while delivering the keynote address at the 5th Private Security Industry Summit and 9th Annual General Meeting of the Association of Licensed Private Security Practitioners of Nigeria (ALPSPN).

According to Mary Ali, Head of Press and Public Relations at the Ministry, the minister emphasized the crucial role private security companies play in enhancing national security, particularly through credible intelligence gathering.

Tunji-Ojo said Nigeria’s security objectives cannot be achieved without an active and professional private security sector, adding that the government seeks to make operators globally competitive and professionally managed.

“We are at a time in Nigeria where private security companies are key to what we want to achieve. We don’t just need you for security, but also for gathering credible and factual intelligence,” he stated.

The minister further noted that the private security sector employs over one million Nigerians, describing it as a vital contributor to both economic stability and national security. He stressed that a stronger, more coordinated private security industry is essential to improving the country’s overall security landscape.

Also addressing the summit, Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Prof. Ahmed Abubakar Audi, commended the event as a timely and meaningful platform for advancing the growth and development of private security practice in Nigeria.
