The finalists for the 2025 Nigeria OSPAs have now been revealed! The Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) recognise and reward companies, people and innovation across the security sector. The OSPAs are designed to be both independent and inclusive, providing an opportunity for exceptional performers, whether buyers or suppliers, to be acknowledged and their success to be celebrated.
The awards are founded on strong ethical principles and are actively supported by numerous key industry bodies and special interest groups. These organisations nominate judges to represent them, including ASIS Chapter 273 Abuja, ASIS Lagos Chapter, ASIS Region 11A, Association of Licenced Private Security Practitioners of Nigeria (ALPSPN), Society for Professional Background Screeners (SPBS), ASIS Port Harcourt Chapter, Association of Industrial Security & Safety Operators (AISSON), International Institute of Professional Security (IIPS)and the Nigeria Institute for Industrial Security (NISS).
This year’s Nigeria OSPAs awards will take place on 13th March 2025 via a virtual ceremony, where we will announce this years’ winners.
Following the success of last year, winners from all categories (except Lifetime Achievement) of the 2025 Nigeria OSPAs will be featured in the 2026 Global OSPAs! 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.
