FENAC Secure Solutions, a leading provider of home automation systems in West Africa, has signed a strategic partnership with South Africa’s NICE Automation Systems to drive the adoption of smart living and security technologies in Nigeria.

The collaboration is expected to scale up the deployment of intelligent gate and door automation technologies in residential and commercial properties, offering improved safety, convenience, and energy efficiency.

Speaking on the development, a representative of NICE Automation Systems, JaQues Van Niekerk, described the partnership as a pivotal step in expanding smart infrastructure in the region.

“The collaboration between NICE and FENAC Secure Solutions has already laid the groundwork for innovation across West Africa,” Van Niekerk said. “Now, we’re looking to deepen our impact in Nigeria by leveraging FENAC’s local expertise and customer reach.”

He explained that NICE products are tailored for the African environment, with features that address infrastructural realities such as erratic power supply.

“Our gate motors can run even without batteries, which is a major advantage in areas with frequent power outages,” he said, adding that NICE is currently the only manufacturer using lithium batteries in gate motors.Lithium batteries are more durable, require less maintenance, and provide a longer service life; ultimately reducing costs for users.”

Also speaking, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of FENAC Secure Solutions, Chuka Okafor, said the partnership will accelerate the adoption of technology-driven solutions that support both residential and commercial development in urban and suburban communities.

According to him, integrating NICE’s world-class technology into FENAC’s network will enhance after-sales support and system maintenance—areas often neglected in imported automation systems.

Okafor added that while FENAC recently partnered with Nigerian proptech firm Px PropertyHub to expand its footprint, the company remains focused on delivering secure, smart, and sustainable living experiences to consumers.

Industry experts have welcomed the collaboration as timely, given Nigeria’s growing real estate market and the shift towards tech-enabled housing solutions for safer and more efficient living.

As part of the agreement, no fewer than 20 Nigerian technicians were trained and certified on operational procedures by South African technology experts during a recent session in Lagos.
