Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited has attracted growing international attention at the ongoing Africa International Defence Exhibition (AFRIDEX) 2026 in Lagos, following visits by military delegations from Ukraine and the United States, alongside partnership discussions with Canadian firm SkyTrac.
The Ukraine Defence Attaché at the Embassy of Ukraine and a United States military delegation visited Tantita’s Booth 1115 on the second day of the exhibition, underscoring the company’s growing visibility among international defence and security stakeholders.
The visits provided an opportunity for engagement with the Nigerian security company, which has continued to showcase its operational capabilities and technology-driven solutions for addressing security challenges and protecting critical national assets.
The engagements also highlight the growing relevance of collaboration among security organisations, military institutions and technology providers in developing effective responses to emerging security threats.
In a significant development, Canadian firm SkyTrac held discussions with Tantita on potential partnership opportunities. According to the company, it had identified Tantita as a prospective partner ahead of the exhibition, indicating a possible avenue for future cross-border cooperation.
The discussions could open up opportunities for collaboration in areas of mutual interest, particularly as security organisations increasingly explore innovative approaches to surveillance, intelligence gathering and critical infrastructure protection.
Tantita, which has established a strong operational presence in the protection of critical oil and gas infrastructure in Nigeria’s Niger Delta, is using the international exhibition to showcase its experience and capabilities to a wider audience.
The company’s participation at AFRIDEX 2026 provides a platform to engage international stakeholders, exchange ideas and explore partnerships that could strengthen its position within the evolving global security landscape.
The exhibition has brought together defence institutions, military representatives, security agencies, technology providers and other industry players to explore innovations and partnerships aimed at improving security operations across Africa and beyond.
With international military delegations visiting its exhibition stand and a Canadian firm exploring potential collaboration, Tantita’s participation underscores the increasing importance of strategic partnerships in addressing complex security challenges and safeguarding critical assets.
