Ransom, Rallies and Roadblocks: Nigeria's Q4
Insurgency, abductions, election tension and labour unrest, and what they mean for your teams, programmes and business. One hour with SARI's security team, and you leave with a clearer plan for the months ahead.
If you have people, programmes or supply chains in Nigeria, this quarter will test your plans.
Abductions are funding armed groups. Election tension is bringing people onto the streets. Strikes and floods are cutting the roads you rely on. In one hour, we connect the three and show you what to do about them.
Who is being taken, where, and when
Mass abductions are moving with the harvest. Last week 47 farm workers were taken from a single field in Niger State.
The election run-up hits the streets
Political incidents tripled between July and August. Protests and attacks on party officials are already spreading.
Getting staff and goods through
Attacks on roads, a nationwide strike and seasonal flooding are squeezing the corridors your operations depend on.
You'll leave knowing
Where abduction risk is concentrated, and why harvest season matters
What the election run-up means for staff movement and protest exposure
Which corridors to watch, and how to plan around strikes and floods
