“Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo advocates for the establishment of a database for private security guards, emphasizing its potential to bolster national security. Speaking at a gathering with private guards in Abuja, the minister underscored the crucial role played by private security personnel in various countries’ security frameworks and stressed the importance of Nigeria aligning with global standards in this regard.

Tunji-Ojo highlighted the untapped potential of the private security industry and its impact on national security, attributing past inefficiencies to a lack of standardization and adherence to global best practices. He proposed the creation of a database to enhance productivity, efficiency, and adherence to policies within the industry.

The minister emphasized that establishing such a database would not only create more job opportunities but also improve security, both in formal and informal sectors. By ensuring proper tracking and accountability, the database aims to address concerns regarding the misconduct of some guards, thereby alleviating fears among Nigerians about the safety of their families and properties.

Furthermore, Tunji-Ojo outlined the benefits of the proposed database, including enabling background checks on guards, fostering trust between guards and the public, and ensuring swift justice in case of misconduct. He stressed the importance of instilling confidence in Nigerians regarding the individuals hired to safeguard their homes and communities.”
