SeamlessHR, Africa’s leading HR and payroll software provider, has championed the need for tailored human capital solutions within Nigeria’s private security sector. At the Private Security Industry Summit hosted by the Association of Licensed Private Security Professionals of Nigeria (ALPSN), the company presented strategic tools for optimising operations and enhancing workforce stability.

The summit, themed “The Complexities of the Security Environment: The Role of Private Security in Enhancing National Security of Nigeria,” brought together industry leaders, government representatives, and security experts to address pressing challenges and explore innovative solutions. Key stakeholders in attendance included Ahmed Abubakar Audi, Commandant General of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, and Dr. Chris Adigwu, President of ALPSN, amongst others.

Speaking on how Private Security Companies can be empowered with Financial Solutions, Oke Egbi, SeamlessHR’s Director of Embedded Finance, emphasised the company’s focus on innovative solutions specifically designed to meet the needs of private security companies in Nigeria, aiming to improve workforce stability, boost operational efficiency, and support employee well-being.

“With the current economic uncertainties, employees are grappling with financial pressures that, if left unaddressed, can undermine their well-being,” Egbi stated. “Organisations must recognise the need for flexible financial wellness programs that empower employees to navigate financial challenges confidently. Our commitment is twofold: to enhance cash flow efficiency for private security companies and to expand financial access for their employees. Over the years, we’ve observed that delayed payments and complex payroll processes hinder stability within the security industry. With our payroll financing options and bulk salary payment solutions, security firms can operate seamlessly, reduce attrition, and ultimately foster a more loyal and dedicated workforce.” she added

Dr. Chris Adigwu, President of ALPSN, also lauded SeamlessHR’s contribution to the sector: “SeamlessHR’s technology solutions empower our private security companies to focus on their core mission by making workforce management simple, efficient, and impactful. With such tools, security firms can achieve operational stability, which is essential to their role in national security.”
