Background: Empowering the Future of the Waterways

Nigeria’s riverine and coastal regions are the heartbeat of economic activities such as fishing, oil exploration, and maritime trade. Yet, these areas face recurring threats including illegal bunkering, sea piracy, kidnapping, cultism, and drug abuse, which weaken community stability and endanger lives.

Recognizing the urgent need for youth inclusion in maritime security, Gallery Security Services Ltd aims to transform the narrative — shifting young people from bystanders into active defenders of peace and development in their communities.

“Our waterways are not just routes of commerce but arteries of life. Protecting them means empowering the next generation to take responsibility for peace, vigilance, and resilience,”
said Senior High Chief Bibopere Alube, the Host and Chairman of Gallery Security Services.
