At Securex, Pearson canvasses safety, security ecosystem for sustainable peace, prosperity

Regional Director for Afrocet Montgomery, George Pearson, has stressed the need to build a safety and security ecosystem that supports Nigeria’s aspirations for sustainable peace and prosperity.

He spoke yesterday at the opening of Securex West Africa 2023, a three-day exhibition for the security, fire, safety and facility management sectors.

Pearson said a collective effort was needed to develop skilled manpower to achieve desired results to aid development in the country.

He said deployment of right technology, resources and skilled manpower was needed in the safety and security ecosystem.

His words: “As the commercial capital of Nigeria, Lagos is fast becoming the leading megacity in Africa. But with the promise of opportunity, the need to develop the city as it rapidly expands becomes increasingly important.

“Securex West Africa is the only platform in Nigeria to offer such a range of tech-driven smart and resilient solutions for the new urban/built environment. And we firmly believe this will be the event of future technology in years to come.

“Over the years, Securex West Africa has come to be known as the foremost arena for regional and international suppliers to meet, network and do business with some of the biggest companies in the region, requiring security products and services.”

“Feedback also indicates that Securex is a prime avenue for participants to deepen knowledge about global trends and new advancements in safety and security management.”

He added: “Securex West Africa also provides a platform for suppliers and service providers in the security sector to display their cutting-edge products and offerings, as well as showcase latest technology in safety and security management.

“There are three conferences running simultaneously over the next three days, and you can take part in these free-to-attend discussions and hear from strategically selected regional and global leaders, providing latest insights to inspire business growth.”
