The Security Skills Development Company has warned that rising political tensions ahead of the 2027 general elections could negatively affect business operations, investment decisions, and national stability if adequate preventive measures are not put in place.
The security training and consulting firm made this known in a statement made available to The PUNCH by its Head of Media and Research, Olufemi Omotayo, on Tuesday.
Omotayo noted that the organisation’s 2026 Security Outlook Report identified key threats expected to shape Nigeria’s business environment as the country approaches the next election cycle.
According to him, findings from a nationwide survey and expert contributions at the recently concluded Security Thought Leadership Roundtable identified internal security threats, protection of national assets, cyber risks, and election-related tensions as the four major risk areas confronting organisations and institutions.
