According to him, The Cybersecurity Advisory Board will make recommendations to the government on the development, planning, refinement and implementation of policies, programmes, and training initiatives regarding its Cybersecurity endeavours.

‘’The Board is a multi-disciplinary and cross-functional group comprising professional cyber-security industry leaders, public sector experts, members of ICT, law enforcement, education, media, etc.

‘’As Lagos State transits to a global digital future, the need for a cyber-security framework and plan is necessary as both inherent and residual risks are increasingly driven by global connectivity and the usage of cloud services to store sensitive data and personal information.

‘’The State is implementing a Smart City programme in line with its THEMES Plus Agenda and projects that will result in a more connected future. The data from these initiatives are invaluable assets that require digital protection,’’ he said.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu congratulated members of the Board, saying its constitution would reassure investors that, “Lagos is not just the technology hub in Africa, but a cyber -secure tech hub”.
