News Highlights:

  • ABoICT Lecture 2025 will focus on AI governance, standardization, and cybersecurity.
  • The 16th edition, themed ‘ICT Growth Edition 2025’, will honour top ICT contributors.

This year’s Africa Beacon of ICT Merit and Leadership Lecture will spotlight governance, standardization, and cybersecurity in the era of artificial intelligence, reports Digital TimesNG.

The lecture which will herald Africa’s Beacon of ICT Merit and Leadership Awards (ABoICT Lecture 2025) holds on May 24, 2025 at Four Points by Sheraton and will be delivered by Prof. Adewale Obadare, Chief Visionary Officer, Digital Encode – Cybersecurity and GRC expert.

Ken Nwogbo, editor-in-chief of Nigeria CommunicationsWeek the organizers of the event, said the 16th edition of the award ceremony “is a special edition to recognise and celebrate organizations and individuals in the ICT industry that have contributed to the growth of the sector.

“Most of these organizations and individuals have consistently been voted by our readers as leaders in their areas of operations and we have decided to reward them in this special edition, tagged: ‘ICT Growth Edition 2025’.

He added that, an AI governance framework outlines policies, principles, and practices to guide the ethical and responsible development and deployment of AI technologies, ensuring transparency, accountability, and fairness.

“In the AI era, cybersecurity faces both new threats and opportunities, as AI’s capabilities are used by both defenders and attackers to launch sophisticated attacks and defences.

“This requires a proactive approach, including AI-powered security tools, robust data security, and ethical AI development, emphasizing real-time monitoring, threat intelligence, and collaboration among cybersecurity professionals and AI researchers.

“Artificial intelligence transforms cybersecurity by automating responses to risks, detecting unusual activity, and even foreseeing possible dangers before they occur.

“While AI has various perks, such as better efficiency and faster risk identification, it also has challenges. Without proper oversight, these systems can be misused or make errors. Strong governance and ethical frameworks ensure AI technologies are used responsibly and effectively,” he said.

The Africa Beacon of ICT Merit and Leadership (ABoICT Lecture 2025) is designed to explore efforts to put Nigeria on the global Information and Communications Technologies map.

The lecture series, however, is reserved for distinguished achievers in the ICT sector.

Past lecturers included Dr. Ernest Ndukwe, then executive vice chairman, Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC); Uche Orji, managing director/chief executive officer, Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA); and Biodun Omoniyi, Managing Director/CEO, VDT Communications.
