NSCDC Issues Licences to 50 Private Security Firms, Warns Against Operational Breaches

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has granted operational licences to 50 newly registered Private Guard Companies (PGCs), urging strict compliance with industry regulations.

Speaking during the licence presentation ceremony on Wednesday in Abuja, NSCDC Commandant-General, Dr. Ahmed Audi, reminded operators that adherence to the rules is non-negotiable. He emphasized that relocating any company’s head office or branch without prior notification to the corps could result in licence revocation.

“This task is familiar to many of you. The guidelines require at least one company director to have a background in the security or intelligence sector,” Audi stated.

He stressed that PGCs must recognize NSCDC as their regulatory authority, with mandatory licence renewal at least three months before expiry to avoid penalties. He further warned that operational licences are non-transferable and prohibited the use of firearms, military-style ranks, or uniforms similar to conventional security agencies.

Audi cautioned against the intimidation of citizens and advised operators to maintain transparency, especially in declaring the number of personnel employed. “Guard welfare is critical. Well-paid guards are less likely to compromise and more loyal,” he noted.

The NSCDC boss also encouraged the firms to support national security by sharing credible intelligence with the corps.

Also speaking, Chris Adigun, President of the Association of Licensed Security Practitioners of Nigeria (ALSPN), urged the new operators to align with the association to strengthen their relationship with the government.

“Don’t just collect the licence—add value to your company, the industry, and to Nigeria. Your role in crime prevention and national safety is vital,” Adigun said.
