Halogen Group dominates 2024 OSPAs, named Nigeria’s Best Security Company

Halogen Group, Nigeria’s security risk management and safety solution organisation, has been voted as Nigeria’s Most Outstanding Security Company for 2024.

The announcement came from the UK head office of the Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs), a global body that annually celebrates excellence in security management.

The OSPAs, highly sought after for their affirmation of superior service delivery, recognise top security companies across Europe, Africa, America, Asia, Australia and Canada.

Halogen Group not only won the Outstanding Contract Security Company of the Year but also secured the highest number of OSPAs trophies for 2024.

This includes the Outstanding Security Training Initiative award for the national impact of its training and capacity development hub, Academy Halogen.

Additionally, Halogen Group’s CEO, Wale Olaoye, who is widely sought as a distinguished security risk management expert and thought leader, received the coveted OSPAs Lifetime Achievement Award, making him Africa’s first inductee into the newly instituted Global Hall of Fame for security leaders.

This year’s outstanding performance marks the fifth consecutive time Halogen has outshone its peers with multiple category wins in the fiercely contested OSPAs.

Reacting to the accolades, Halogen’s founder and Chairman, Dr Biodun Shobanjo, expressed gratitude to the company’s clients for their continued trust and praised the management and staff for driving the company’s vision.

He said: “This is a reward for excellent leadership, clear thoughts and a flawless vision.

“This is the result when a team of brilliant minds pulls together, as evidenced by what the management team and a nimble workforce can accomplish when committed to a common cause and pulling in the same direction.”

Halogen’s Group Chief Operating Officer, Mr Lanre Showunmi, thanked the OSPAs organisers and the eminent jurors, emphasising that the awards are a call to even higher levels of service excellence.

Showunmi pledged that Halogen Group, in line with its DNA and culture, will continue to drive innovation leadership by leveraging new thinking to enable sustainable security in a post-digital and AI-driven world.
