The Birthing of SAEMA Series for Outstanding Security and Emergency Managers…

The Security and Emergency Management Awards was instituted in 2019 by the Image Merchants Promotions Limited (publishers of Emergency Digest, PRNigeria and Economic Confidential magazines) in partnership with the Centre for Crisis Communication. This is in recognition of the immeasurable and invaluable contribution to the security, peace and development of Nigeria by the military, security, intelligence and response agencies, their management and personnel.

The idea behind the award series is to publicly acknowledge and appreciate the agencies (and the individuals behind them) with a view to creating resilient and professional approach in the management of security and emergency situations in the country. The Awards is an annual event envisioned to celebrate the best of the bests in security and response agencies in Nigeria.

Its noteworthy that some winners in the maiden edition went ahead to clinch global awards which include African Public Relations Award and Golden World Award instituted by the International Public Relations Association (IPRA).

The Backgrounders…

The recurrence of both man-made and natural disasters has over time precipitated insecurity and humanitarian consequences in Nigeria. These tragic occurrences have placed the activities and operations of agencies and departments saddled with the responsibility of managing security and emergencies in the front burner.

The country is currently assailed in all fronts by different degrees of man-made adversities ranging from terrorism to kidnappings, armed banditry, cattle rustling, farmers-herdsmen clashes, banditry, pipeline vandalism, armed robbery, rape, drug addiction, human trafficking, ritual killings, cybercrimes/internet frauds, sectarian tensions, inter and intra communal and political tensions, ethno-religious conflicts, etc. It is also buffeted periodically by such natural disasters as flood, wild fire, erosion menace, desertification, disease outbreaks/epidemics, draught, etc.

Mindful that the priority of any government is to ensure the security of lives and property of citizens, to guarantee safe and secured environment for socio-economic activities to thrive without let or hindrance, Nigeria has a number of agencies and departments whose statutory responsibilities are primarily to take care of security and emergency needs of the people.

These agencies include the following:
i. Defence Headquarters (DHQ),
ii. Nigerian Army (NA),
iii. Nigerian Navy (NN),
iv. Nigerian Air Force (NAF),
v. Nigeria Police Force (NPF),
vi. Nigeria Customs Service (NCS),
vii. Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS),
viii. Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS)
ix. Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC),
x. Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC),
xi. Federal Fire Service (FFS),
xii. Department of State Services (DSS),
xiii. National Intelligence Agency (NIA),
xiv. Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC),
xv. National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA),
xvi. Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC),
xvii. National Agency for the Prohibition of Traffic in Persons (NAPTIP).
Given the indispensability of their statutory roles, these agencies of government and the people behind them are constantly on their toes to prevent, tackle or mitigate the impacts of man-made or natural adversities.

Great Patriots…
Without any iota of doubt, the management and personnel of these agencies are great patriots who despite the challenges, hazards and dangers strewn on their job schedules, remain determined and committed towards ensuring that our dear country is safe, secured and peaceful.

A lot of them have paid the supreme sacrifice, many have lost their limbs, some families torn apart, and dreams cut short while carrying out their duties. At the management level, a number of Chief Executives of these agencies have shown uncommon courage, ingenuity and exemplary leadership that deserve encomium and appreciation.

It is our singular honour and privilege to welcome all of you to the second edition of Security and Emergency Management Awards (SAEMA 2020).

We must acknowledge the fact that we are all here to appreciate and honour the best of the bests among the military, security, intelligence and response agencies and other groups and individuals in our country.

As a Jury, we have no doubt that all of us here are united in our conviction that nothing is more topical and critical in our country today than security and emergency matters. The recurrence of both man-made and natural disasters has over time precipitated insecurity and humanitarian consequences in Nigeria. These tragic occurrences have placed the activities and operations of agencies and departments saddled with the responsibility of managing security and emergencies in the front burner.

In view of the indispensability of their statutory roles, these agencies of government and the people behind them are constantly on their toes to prevent, tackle or mitigate the impacts of both man-made and natural adversities.

We are particularly happy to note the interest that three great institutions, namely, Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC), Nigeria Air Force (NAF) and Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) were all winners of this year’s African Public Relations Awards and Golden World of International Public Relations Association (IPRA) in different categories.
