Halogen Group, a security risk solutions provider, and Emergency Response Africa (ERA), a social enterprise dedicated to providing critical support in times of crisis, have entered into a partnership to strengthen emergency response capabilities and enhance community resilience.
ERA, with its strong experience and robust infrastructure in medical emergency response, will join forces with Halogen Group to provide a more comprehensive emergency response service, leveraging Halogen’s physical security response network as part of the features available on Signal, an emergency response app earlier introduced by ERA.
The newly reconfigured Signal app which is available on the Google Play Store and iOS app store, reflects a strategic alliance by the two leading emergency response organizations to enable users to request both medical aid and security services during emergencies by leveraging the expertise and resources of both organizations.
According to Wale Olaoye, CEO of Halogen Group, the launch of the expanded Signal Emergency app is a significant milestone for crisis management in Nigeria.

He explained that the collaboration reflects Halogen’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology and partnerships with leading new frontier players to deepen the delivery of its safety in an open-world mandate.
