Ademola Adewale - Head, Internal Control and Reconciliation, First Bank Nigeria Plc.
“The conference has come at the right time, because for the first time I have seen major stakeholders coming together to discuss an important issue as cybercrime and cybersecurity. This has provided us an avenue to come out with holistic solutions for cybercrime and security in the country. The challenge is more for government agencies, private sector and the academia to make more commitment to ensure that we have a cybercrime free environment”
“We are lucky that cyber criminals have not done any such big time fraud. But, we need to quickly move up and provide security. Otherwise when they strike, banks will lose a lot of money. What we’re having now are more of fraud, ATM theft… using it to steal money; but real time internet fraud – bug time fraud has not yet happened. Banks have to quickly deal with that”
“There is a frame work, and we involved consultants who have developed a standard for the Bank and the bank is actually looking at meeting the 150 standards on security. So we are looking beyond Nigeria we are identifying ourselves with the best banks in the World so we are in good steps in First Bank…”

“By the dynamics of the internet, crimes today are changing. In banks, offices, when you investigate corruption or such related offences, we look for Ghana must go full of heavy cash books and so on, but today a lot of it is changing. You will work into a place and the only thing you will see is a computer. For us in the ICPC, if we don’t join this and get the capacity in order to follow the trend, we will be left behind.”
Inuwa Abdulkadir - Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, Sokoto State.
“As the theme of the conference entails, it is timely conference which is long overdue because of the development in ICT. Generally, all manner of people are conducting all sorts of business whether private or government. So it has become part of socio-economic as well as political life of the people all over the world. Because of that, we are required to enhance cybersecurity and to take necessary steps in respect of cyber crimes; that is why I said the conference is not only timely but long overdue. This thing everyday affects the socio-economic condition of this nation and the world at large and the reality is that with globalization, it has become too obvious and fundamental to address this issue”
Dr. Ibrahim Buba - Special Adviser to the Governor of Nasarawa State on Security Matters
“This is a new vista altogether on the overall security of Nigeria as you are very well aware, the whole economy is now IT driven and if we don’t start now to plan and protect out information and technology system, we will be in problems. So this seminar is very vital as a starting block towards achieving that objective.”
“The conference has opened my mind to a lot of things, a lot of opportunities, a lot of un-tasked reporting and I think Nigeria needs to give more attention to IT world;”
