Spearfish West Africa

Spearfish has been operating throughout Nigeria for over six years. We
opened our Spearfish West Africa (SWA) office in Abuja, Nigeria, in 2018.
This permanent base is the natural evolution of our continued and
expanding presence in the region.

Security Risk Management

Spearfish Africa is well-positioned place to support those facing security issues across Sub - Saharan Africa which includes, Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia, Rwanda, the DRC , Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast , Mali.

The region’s security landscape is complex and varied, linked to difficult political and economic conditions across West Africa. As Boko Haram continue to disrupt Nigeria’s north-east, other jihadist groups such as Al-Qaeda and Islamic State are active across the Sahel, particularly in Mali taking advantage of weak governance.

At the same time West Africa is benefiting from increasing levels of foreign aid, in turn resulting in more businesses starting or scaling up operations in new and existing markets. SWA can help enable your business to understand and operate in these complex environments.

Permanent team

Having a permanent team in Africa permits a continual and stable presence in the region. Based in Abuja, we are closer to client operations and in turn providing a more direct level of support for security planning, operations management and incident response.

With our existing in-country team and their access and presence throughout Nigeria, with a specific focus on the North-East and the South, we are well placed to offer expert, locally led support as and when needed.
