Nigerian Private University Reduces Campus Security Incidents by 73%

Higher Education • Nigeria • 10,000+ students • Multi-campus university

How a 10,000+ student institution achieved verifiable safety protocols and eliminated compliance gaps across security, facilities, and laboratories

The Challenge

Unverified Operations Across Critical Departments Creating Safety and Compliance Risks

University operations depended on strict execution of security patrols, building inspections, lab safety checks, HVAC monitoring, and regulatory reviews. While SOPs existed, verification relied on manual logbooks that could not prove tasks were actually completed.

Critical gaps emerged across campus operations:

Security & Safety Risks

• Patrol coverage gaps: Officers logged “rounds completed,” yet theft incidents revealed 4–6 hour gaps, especially during night shifts

• Delayed incident response: Emergency escalation timelines were unknown, allowing incidents to worsen

• Access control lapses: Unauthorized building access occurred despite keys marked as “properly managed”

Facilities Management Failures

• Building inspection gaps: Daily checks logged as complete, but broken locks, lighting failures, and leaks went unnoticed for days

• HVAC neglect: 4-hour plant checks were claimed, yet lecture hall temperature complaints exposed monitoring inconsistencies

• Contractor supervision weakness: Quality issues surfaced only after project completion

Laboratory Compliance Concerns

• Safety shortcuts: Expired fire extinguishers and faulty eyewash stations discovered during audits

• Calibration drift: Equipment failures occurred despite “current” calibration records

• Chemical inventory discrepancies: Missing documentation and improper storage revealed during surprise inspections

Manual logbooks showed 95%+ task completion, yet incidents continued, complaints increased, and auditors issued findings. Management had no visibility into which protocols were actually followed.

The Tymer Solution

✓ Verification Engine

Security officers, facilities staff, and lab technicians verify tasks through checkpoint scans, QR codes, and proximity tags—providing timestamped proof of patrols, inspections, and safety checks.

✓ Proof Points

Photo and video evidence documents incidents, equipment status, lab safety conditions, HVAC readings, and contractor progress—eliminating unverifiable claims.

✓ 24/7 Supervision

A unified, real-time dashboard gives management cross-department visibility, automated alerts for missed protocols, and early detection of compliance gaps before incidents occur.
