OUR SECURITY ARCHITECTURE

The safety and security of Banana Island is a major priority to the executives of the estate as such all efforts are geared towards ensuring all areas are fortified. The new security architecture is based on the belief that places that are not in the open, common view, or hidden, prove to be favorable places for crime to occur As a result, an effective security measure was implemented in January 2023 by BIPORAL to protect residents in the estate from potential threats It combines the three disciplines of personnel, information, and physical security in a manner to create ‘defense in depth’, where multiple layers work together to deter, delay, and deny an attack.

Approximately a total number of 2,500 vehicles access the estate daily, while over 3,000 site workers are engaged in ongoing construction sites within the estate In order to reduce traffic congestion and prevent unauthorized and questionable guests from getting access to the estate, a wellstructured policy has been put in place. The Banana estate visitors' parking lot has been designed specifically for guests, vendors, and commercial partners to verify access codes and go through thorough security checks

The BIPORAL security operatives guarantee residents that this procedure is well ordered, as it eases entry and exit flow to the estate, ensuring peace of mind for all stakeholders

According to BIPORAL Chief Security Officer Abdulgafar, “ it is our goal at the Banana estate security unit to ensure safety within the estate, efficient service, and ensure that visitors experience world-class security management ”

As part of our measure to maintain top security management in Banana Island, the BIPORAL executives ensure that quarterly training programs for security operatives are conducted. This training is aimed to empower security personnel in the estate to be polite, efficient, effective, and confident in their discharge Consequently, this training program enlightens each of the security operatives on the policies and regulations of the estate

In one of the training held this January 2023, materials that covered topics on security protocol and incident reporting procedures were discussed extensively during the program

According to Mr Ireyimika George, the Chairman, Security committee Banana Island, “Given the number of training held, we have received commendations from residents and visitors about several security operatives for their diligence and compliant manner, indeed the Banana estate security operatives are well-prepared to protect property, assets, and residents in Banana Island.”
