The finalists of the Nigeria Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) have been announced.
The 2024 Nigeria OSPAs has attracted an excellent number of quality submissions and the judging panel faced a challenging task narrowing down the entries to select only the very best.
An exciting new development for this year’s awards is that winners from all categories (except Lifetime Achievement) of the 2024 Ireland OSPAs will be featured in the first Global OSPAs set to take place in 2025! Winners will automatically qualify for the global competition.
The winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award will be inducted into the newly launched Security Hall of Fame. Learn more about this here.
Commenting on the awards, founder of the OSPAs Professor Martin Gill said: “We are delighted by the continued support we have received for the awards. All those that have made it to the finalists list should be very proud, as only those that reach a score threshold go forward to the next phase of the competition.”
