As Nigeria grapples with the challenges of insecurity in various parts of the country, a frontline integrated security firm has pledged commitment to protecting citizens and stakeholders, advancing innovation in security delivery, and contributing meaningfully to national stability and economic confidence.
The Lagos-based firm, Proton Security, offers a range of security services, including manned guarding, armed escort services, and security risk audits. It is ISO 9001:2015 certified and has a strong presence in various sectors, including banking and logistics.
Adekunmi Odebunmi, the firm’s managing director, disclosed that they took a proactive stance on national security awareness during the political party primaries, which prompted strengthened security deployments nationwide to safeguard public spaces and maintain peace.
