EIB Group Chairman, Dr. Bright Echefu, and senior management showcased the Group’s operational capabilities, including:

• EIB Stratoc: Advanced security and surveillance solutions.
• Giga Forensics: Forensic analysis and data-gathering platforms to support evidence-based investigations.

“The Group remains committed to supporting government institutions through innovation, professionalism, and strategic partnerships. Private sector participation is key to strengthening institutional capacity,” Dr. Echefu said.

CG Nandap commended the investments in technology, infrastructure, and human capital, describing the facilities as “impressive and reflective of a forward-looking organisation.”

She noted that the visit highlighted how private sector initiatives can complement government efforts to improve security, technology integration, and service efficiency.

The tour concluded with interactive sessions, where NIS officials and EIB Group management discussed potential collaboration areas and long-term engagement to support Nigeria’s security architecture.
