RouteWatche, a personal security and intelligence company, has released its Nigerian Security Risk Index (SRI).
This large-scale report provides an in-depth assessment of national, state and local security risks in Nigeria.
The report highlights critical security trends over the past decade and provides policymakers and security agencies with essential data to shape future security measures.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of RouteWatche Intelligence, Adebayo Adeleke, speaks on the importance of the SRI saying: “The Security Risk Index is critical because it provides a holistic assessment of Nigeria’s security situation, a challenge often difficult to quantify. .
“By analyzing what happened in the past, what is happening now and what may happen in the future, the SRI allows policymakers to measure the impact of interventions and identify gaps within the security framework. “It enables stakeholders to build more resilient and robust security performance across the country.”
The Nigeria Security Risk Index shows a 16.85-point decline in the national security risk score between May and June, suggesting possible improvements in the country's overall security conditions.
However, the report also highlights ongoing terrorism-related incidents, particularly in the North East and North West geopolitical zones, and identifies several high-risk areas that continue to pose significant security challenges across the country.
The SRI serves as a vital decision-making tool for security stakeholders by analyzing trends and providing predictions for emerging risks.
The report supports proactive responses to future threats, improving Nigeria's overall security ecosystem.
