Nigeria’s leading information and communications technology company, ipNX, has once again emphasized the need for stronger collaboration among telecommunications operators, enhanced government support, and critical infrastructure reforms to drive sustainable growth in Nigeria’s telecom sector.
This call was made by ipNX’s Divisional CEO, IpNX Business, Oluseyi Lala, at the recently concluded Nigeria Telecoms Forum held on Thursday, April 9, 2026, at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos. The forum brought together senior telecom executives, infrastructure providers, operators, investors, telco associations, and industry professionals.
Speaking during a panel session titled “Securing the Digital Backbone: Cyber Resilience and Data Protection in the Age of 5G and Cloud,” Lala highlighted the growing importance of cybersecurity in Nigeria’s rapidly evolving telecom landscape. As the industry embraces advanced technologies such as 5G and cloud computing, he stressed that safeguarding digital infrastructure must remain a top priority.
He emphasized that cybersecurity is a shared responsibility across the ecosystem, warning against the common assumption that vendors or infrastructure providers have already guaranteed system-wide protection. According to him, this mindset creates vulnerabilities, as effective security depends on coordinated vigilance and accountability from all stakeholders.
