It seems most organizations are geared up in assisting the government to attain all the big-4-agenda as previously stated in their memorandum. A good example is Centum which has recently evolved into a solutions company with a full spectrum of offering in Security Management, Facility management, Customer Facing Services and Entertainment. Centum Investment’s security arm, Tribus TSG, will hire 300 people graduating from the National Youth Service (NYS) annually, following the signing of an MOU.  It is currently headed by James Nicholl, whose profile indicates past experience in the British Army as well as a stint as general manager at Securex Limited before joining the Centum-owned firm in 2017.

Centum said the move is in support of government’s agenda of creating employment opportunities within its Big Four policy. Tribus TSG is a wholly Centum Investment Plc subsidiary founded in 2017 with its core business revolving around Security Management, Training and Governance. Under the deal, the NYS will facilitate recruitment and selection of youths for employment by Tribus TSG and help in processing of police clearance certificates for selected teams. Tribus TSG will then deploy the youth to its diverse clientele base in sectors including NGOs, real estate, education, manufacturing, media and hospitality.
