March 2025 marked a significant milestone in the evolution of Metropolitan Networks Nigeria, as the company officially welcomed a new management team and shareholder structure. Industry veterans Deji Orekoya and Chike Okeke have taken the reins as the primary and sole shareholding directors, bringing with them a renewed vision and sharpened focus on delivering world-class cybersecurity services to the Nigerian market.
🔐 Refocused Mission for Cyber Resilience in Nigeria
Under this new leadership, Metropolitan Networks Nigeria is doubling down on its core mission: to provide the most advanced cybersecurity solutions, partnerships, and training tailored to the Nigerian digital ecosystem. This strategic shift is not just about technology—it’s about impact. The company is committed to:
- Building out a full-scale Cybersecurity Operations Center (SOC) and Network Operations Center (NOC) within Nigeria over the next 3–5 years.
- Equipping local enterprises, banks, and public sector agencies with the tools and intelligence needed to navigate a fast-evolving threat landscape.
- Driving cybersecurity awareness and talent development through strategic training programs and partnerships.
🇳🇬 Local Roots, Global Expertise
With Deji and Chike now leading the charge, Metropolitan Networks Nigeria gains the unique advantage of being led by two Nigerian professionals who grew up in Lagos and deeply understand the local context. Their careers span over two decades each, with leadership roles in major global cybersecurity and IT firms across the UK and USA.
This rare blend of global best practices and local cultural insight positions the company to provide more effective, practical, and scalable solutions that resonate with Nigerian clients and partners alike.
🚀 What’s Next?
Expect to see:
- Strategic investments in Nigerian talent and infrastructure
- Localised cybersecurity services aligned with NDPR, CBN, and global standards
- Partnerships with global technology providers adapted for the West African landscape
- Stronger emphasis on managed security services built and run from within Nigeria
