All Roads Lead to Agadagba as Gallery Security Services Marks 13 Years of Impact
Agadagba, in Ese-Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State, will come alive this weekend as friends, family members, partners and well-wishers gather to celebrate the 13th anniversary of Gallery Security Services Limited — a company that has become synonymous with safety, resilience, and community empowerment across the coastal region.
Founded thirteen years ago by Senior High Chief Bibopere Ajube, Gallery Security Services Limited emerged as a direct response to the growing insecurity on the waterways. Its mission was clear from the beginning: to protect vital oil and gas infrastructure and to safeguard the lives and livelihoods of the coastal and riverine communities of Ondo State.
The innovative security model pioneered by the company quickly gained traction. In 2012, the Ondo State Government under the leadership of His Excellency, Dr. Olusegun Rahman Mimiko, officially engaged Gallery Security Services to provide strategic protection for the state’s waterways and critical oil and gas assets.
Since then, the company’s role has not only endured but expanded. Successive administrations — including those of the late Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, and the current governor, His Excellency Hon. (Dr.) Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa — have continued to rely on the expertise and proven effectiveness of Gallery Security Services. This rare continuity reflects the credibility, reliability, and indispensable value of the security model.
As the organization commemorates thirteen purposeful years, it is also charting an ambitious path for the future. Key focus areas include:
Enhanced maritime surveillance and monitoring technologies
Strengthened community-based intelligence systems
Advanced capacity development and specialized training programmes
Sustained employment and empowerment opportunities for local youth
Through the years, Gallery Security Services Limited has remained true to its guiding philosophy: Security Through Partnership, Discipline, and Community Trust.
As celebrations commence in Agadagba, the company stands poised for even greater service and impact in the years ahead.
