 Ahead of its 13th anniversary cel­ebrations, Gallery Security Ser­vices Limited, a subsidiary of the Bibopere Group, has rolled out an elaborate three-day programme that includes community medi­cal outreach, youth engagement summit and providing succour for some families of its departed personnel.

Chairman of the anniversa­ry organising committee, Barr. Barakumo Kpemi, said in a state­ment that the medical outreach would be conducted at the Brad­ama International Skill Works premises at Agadagba-Obon in Ese-Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State on November 20.

Kpemi stated that it would cover free check-up, basic treat­ment, drug dispensing, and health education for residents of coastal communities in the area.

“We have engaged the ser­vices of doctors, nurses, and volunteers to attend to hundreds of the locals. There would be awareness talk, screening, com­mon investigation, essential drug distribution, and counselling.

“The outreach is part of Gal­lery Security’s wider anniversa­ry programme and focuses on extending the company’s impact beyond operations into humani­tarian service,” he said.

The organising committee chairman further stated that a “Youth in Coastal Defence Sum­mit” would also hold on Novem­ber 19 at the company’s premises in Agadagba-Obon.

“The focus is to strengthen waterways security and commu­nity safety by tackling illegal bun­kering, sea piracy, drug abuse, kidnapping, and youth violence in the riverine areas,” he said.

Key participants at the sum­mit are drawn from the Nigeri­an Navy, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Customs, Immigration, Nigerian Securi­ty and Civil Defence Corps, and other relevant government and community bodies.

The anniversary, which cel­ebrates Gallery Security’s mile­stones and its contribution to peace and community safety over the years, would be rounded off on November 21 with an awards and recognition ceremony for its serving personnel and the fami­lies of some departed staff.
