Omowunmi Oyetinbo, a Nigerian cybersecurity expert, believes the country has the potential to become a leading producer of cybersecurity professionals, generating significant foreign exchange and boosting the economy.
Oyetinbo, Head of Operations at Wellspring Consulting, emphasized the need for collaboration between the government, private organizations, and individuals to invest in training and technology infrastructure to empower Nigerian youth as cybersecurity professionals.
Speaking at a cybersecurity seminar in Abeokuta, Ogun State, she highlighted the critical shortage of cybersecurity professionals in Nigeria despite the high global demand.
“Wellspring Consulting is well-positioned to train cybersecurity professionals, opening doors to endless career possibilities in the ever-evolving tech industry, both locally and globally,” she stated.
The firm offers training and free global certification with a globally ranked IT security organization. Oyetinbo is confident that investments in cybersecurity training will yield significant returns for Nigeria.
