The Agency envisioned the development of a parade ground that caters not only to its intelligence and security activities but also to a diverse range of functions. This parade ground, located within the Agency Headquarters, serves as a designated space where the staff members can assemble and conduct training exercises, drills, ceremonies, parades, and other formal activities. Additionally, it will provide a versatile venue for exhibitions, festivals, community events, and meetings, hosting smaller groups of 20 to 30 people.
The parade ground is designed to meet the specific requirements of the Agency; reflecting its mission and objectives. The primary goal is to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing environment that promotes efficiency, precision, and unity. Key elements such as a central VIP viewing stand, flagpoles for the national flag, and seating areas for spectators to observe the events are incorporated into the design.
Emphasizing the Agency’s commitment to environmental sustainability, the design prioritizes the use of sustainable practices and materials. Surface finishes such as concrete, interlocking paving, asphaltic concrete, or a combination thereof are considered based on their durability, aesthetics, and environmental impact. In addition to the parade ground’s functional aspects, the design focuses on creating a visually appealing atmosphere that reflects the cultural identity and values of Nigeria.


Traditional patterns, artworks, motifs, and materials are integrated into the architectural features, landscaping, and decorative elements, fostering a sense of pride and celebration of the nation’s heritage. To accommodate the diverse range of activities, a canopy is included to provide shade and cover when needed. Furthermore, a stage suitable for performances is incorporated, offering a platform to showcase talent and enhance the versatility of the parade ground.
