After 20+ years in the global cybersecurity industry—rising to the level of CTO at Metropolitan Networks UK—I knew it was time to bring that experience home. As a Nigerian, I’ve seen firsthand the urgent need for locally informed, globally aligned cybersecurity solutions. I Co-founded Metropolitan Networks Nigeria to bridge that gap—empowering African businesses and institutions to defend themselves with world-class protection tailored to our unique challenges.

With over two decades of experience in the cybersecurity industry, culminating in executive roles such as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), I have witnessed firsthand the evolving challenges organisations face in protecting their digital assets. My journey has equipped me with a global perspective and a deep technical acumen, which I am now channeling into addressing the unique cybersecurity needs of Nigeria and the broader African region.
As a Nigerian, I am intimately aware of the specific threats and infrastructural challenges our local businesses and institutions encounter. This insight drives my commitment to developing tailored, robust security solutions that not only meet international standards but are also contextually relevant.
