Where SirturG covers today
We would rather be honest than list cities we cannot serve. This is the real picture.
Port Harcourt, Rivers State
Closest coverage in Old GRA and New GRA Phases 1–5, with requests taken across the wider city including Trans Amadi, D-Line, Woji and Rumuokoro.

Lagos, Abuja and other cities are not live for client bookings yet. Security companies there can register and onboard their officers now, so dispatch starts the day we open the city.
Register a company →Security companies in Lagos
SirturG is not yet open for client bookings in Lagos. We are onboarding verified security companies and their officers first, so we can guarantee the same live dispatch, tracked officer and upfront pricing standard that we run in Port Harcourt.
Priority areas for launch include Lekki, Ikoyi, Victoria Island, Ikeja, Yaba and Gbagada. If your company covers those areas, register now to be listed when bookings go live.
No setup fee. Officers can be added immediately.
What to check before hiring a security company in Nigeria
Verify the company, not just the guard
Confirm the firm is registered and licensed to supply guards, and that the officer at your gate belongs to that firm.
Agree the hours and the price first
Fix the number of officers, the shift length and the total cost in writing before anyone is deployed.
Insist on a direct line and accountability
You should be able to reach your assigned officer and the company supervising them at any point during the job.
How guard pricing works on SirturG
There is no national fixed rate. Each verified company sets its own hourly rate, and the quote is built from that rate, the number of officers, the hours of cover and the type of protection. You see the total before you confirm and pay online.
| Type of cover | Rate applied |
|---|---|
| Standard guard | Company's base hourly rate |
| Armed officer | 1.45× the base hourly rate |
| Executive / VIP escort | 1.8× the base hourly rate |
| Event & crowd control | 1.25× the base hourly rate |
Price = base hourly rate × officers × hours × cover type.
Hiring security in Nigeria: common questions
- Where in Nigeria can I book a guard through SirturG right now?
- SirturG is live in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, with our closest coverage in Old GRA and New GRA. Lagos, Abuja and other cities are not open for client bookings yet — security companies in those cities can register now so they are ready when we open.
- Can I book a security company in Lagos yet?
- Not for direct dispatch. Lagos is open for security company signups only. Once enough verified companies and officers are onboarded, we will turn on client bookings for Lagos and announce it here.
- How do I check a security company is legitimate in Nigeria?
- Ask for the company's registration and its licence to operate as a private guard company, confirm the officer assigned to you is registered to that company, and insist on a written price before work starts. On SirturG every company is verified before it can receive jobs and every officer is tied to a company account with their own profile and phone line.
- What does a security guard cost in Nigeria?
- There is no single national rate — it depends on the company, the number of officers, how many hours of cover you need and whether the officer is armed. On SirturG the full amount is calculated and shown before you confirm, so there is nothing added on arrival.
- Can I hire a guard for one night or one event?
- Yes. SirturG is built for short jobs — a few hours of event cover or a single night at a home or site — without a monthly contract.
- I run a security company in another Nigerian city. Can I join?
- Yes. You can register your company and add your officers now. You will start receiving jobs as soon as SirturG opens bookings in your city.
