Bodyguard and security driver jobs in Nigeria

How does bodyguard work with us come up?

We are not a job board, and this page is not a list of open vacancies. Work comes from clients. A family arrives for December, an executive has meetings in Victoria Island, an artist has a show in Lagos. Each job needs the right people in the right city, often at short notice.

That is why we keep a database of protection professionals. You register once. When a client needs protection where you are, we contact the people in the database before anyone else. Those who prove themselves on assignments are invited to join The Black Wolf Group.

Which roles do we register in Nigeria?

There are four ways in. Pick the one that fits you, and the form asks the questions that matter for that role.

• Protection professional: close protection officers, bodyguards, security drivers, door supervisors and event security. Ex-forces and ex-police are welcome.
• City coordinator: you know your city inside out and can put a reliable team on the ground within hours. We want one in every major city, including Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt.
• Security company: licensed firms that want to work with us as a partner in their region, with staff, vehicles and a standard to match ours.
• New to protection: martial artists, fighters, athletes and fitness coaches. If you have the discipline, we can show you the job.

Security drivers are part of the team

In Nigeria the car is where clients spend much of their day. A security driver who knows the roads, keeps the vehicle ready, arrives early and stays calm in a go-slow is worth as much to a team as anyone on foot. If you drive VIPs now, register as a protection professional and tell us what you drive, how long you have been driving and any advanced or security driver training you have. Our security driver page shows what clients expect.

What do we look for?

Titles and certificates matter. Character matters more. These are the things we check for in every profile, and on every job.

• Discipline. You turn up early, briefed and ready, every time.
• Discretion. You never post a client, a location or a plan. What happens on the job stays there.
• Fitness. Long days on your feet and the ability to move fast when it counts.
• Honesty. Tell us the truth about your record. We can work with a past. We cannot work with a lie.
• Calm. You read a room, keep your voice down and solve problems before they start.
• Local knowledge. You know the routes, the areas to avoid and how the airport arrival works in your city.

Do you register female officers?

Yes, and we need more of you. Many clients ask for female officers, especially for families and private events. Read why female protection officers matter.

Licensing and background checks

Private guard companies in Nigeria are licensed and supervised by the NSCDC under the Private Guard Companies Act and the NSCDC Act. If you register a security company, we ask for your licence, its number and expiry date, and your insurance. We only work with licensed partners.

Private guard companies in Nigeria are not allowed to bear arms. We do not carry firearms in Nigeria, and we do not pretend to. Where a job needs armed cover, it comes from a lawful state source, and our team plans and leads the movement around it. See our guide to armed escorts in Nigeria.

Every person we put next to a client is vetted. The form asks about criminal convictions, open cases and any dismissal from security, military or police work. We ask whether you would take a drug test and whether you agree to a background check before any assignment, and we ask for references from people who know your work. Answer openly. Honesty counts for more than a clean sheet.

How does registration work?

Registration happens on our join page, from your phone. There is no CV to send and no agency fee. An onboarding officer talks you through every step, and everything is saved as you go.

• Register. About fifteen minutes: your details, availability, background, licences and training, driving, fitness and vetting questions.
• Add your photos and video. A clear portrait, a full-length photo and a short video of yourself. Profiles with a video are seen first.
• We review. Our team looks at every profile.
• First call. When a client needs protection in your city, we contact the database before anyone else.

Start your registration

What happens after you register?

You get a private link. With it you can come back, update your answers and add videos at any time. Keep your phone and WhatsApp details current, because that is how we reach you.

We get in touch when there is an assignment that fits you, or when we want to know more. That may be soon, or it may take a while. It depends on the work in your city and on what the client needs. Those who prove themselves on assignments are invited to join The Black Wolf Group.

Your answers are encrypted, your photos are stripped of location data, and only the Black Wolf team sees your data. Nothing is shared with clients without your agreement.

What does the work pay?

It depends on the job: the role, the client, the city, the hours and how long the assignment runs. Pay is agreed with you for each assignment before it starts. The form asks what day rate you expect so we know where you stand, and we talk it through with you when a job comes up. We do not publish rates, and we do not promise work.

Want to train first?

If you are coming from the door, from a guard company or from sport, our online bodyguard training for Nigeria teaches the job before you step into it. Start with our guide on how to become a bodyguard, see all the courses, or see how we work across the country on our Nigeria page.
