  • Bachelor's degree/HND in Security Management, Criminology, Law, Military/Strategic Studies, Business Administration or a related discipline.
  • Good understanding of Nigeria's security environment and major transportation corridors.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, negotiation and report-writing skills.
  • High level of integrity, discipline, confidentiality and sound judgment.
  • Must be willing to travel to different operational locations when required.
