As anticipation builds for the Calabar Security Summit scheduled for Thursday at the Metropolitan Hotel (formerly Transcorp Hotel), Calabar, stakeholders have highlighted why the event is expected to be a significant platform for learning, collaboration and proactive security engagement.
The summit aims to bring together students, campus leaders, public relations officers, media practitioners, security agencies and other stakeholders to discuss practical approaches to improving safety within educational institutions and communities.
One of the key objectives of the summit is to promote awareness. Participants will gain insights into emerging security challenges, current trends and potential vulnerabilities affecting campuses and society. Organisers believe that understanding security issues is the first step toward preventing them.
The event will also emphasize collaboration, encouraging stronger partnerships between students, educational institutions, security agencies, the media and community leaders. Speakers are expected to stress that effective security is a shared responsibility that requires collective action.
Another major focus is proactive security. Rather than waiting for emergencies to occur, attendees will learn how to identify early warning signs, make use of appropriate reporting channels and apply basic safety protocols that can help prevent crises before they escalate.
For Directors of Information (DOIs), Public Relations Officers (PROs) and media practitioners, the summit offers an opportunity to strengthen their role as trusted sources of accurate information. By gaining firsthand knowledge from experts, participants will be better equipped to educate the public, counter misinformation and promote calm during security-related situations.
The summit also seeks to prepare young leaders for future responsibilities. Organisers say the knowledge, networks and leadership skills gained at the event will help participants contribute meaningfully to safer campuses, workplaces and communities in the years ahead.
In summary, the Calabar Security Summit is designed to empower participants with practical knowledge, strengthen partnerships and encourage informed decision-making. Rather than leaving with fear, attendees are expected to leave with greater confidence, valuable connections and actionable strategies for promoting security.
