Professor Ademola an erudite scholar of impeccable usefulness to sharpen the ~Digital~ Economy of Nigeria
It’s no longer news that the newly inducted
President Bola Tinubu’s government which has taken off since May 29 constitutionally have to set up different existing Ministries with Ministers that will centered the affairs of the ministry which will be of great support to the President administration.
Of a truth ,the visioner of the renewed hope have emerged on the center stage of the nation and recently competent individuals have been appointed in different capacities at the presidential villa and definitely the different ministries can’t be an exemption.
It’s evident the President has made a series of appointments that show his readiness to tap the best hands to ply the affairs of the country. In appointing some Special Advisers, the President gave pre-eminent consideration to competence and energy in achieving results rather than pandering to primordial interests that have hedged on the politics and governance of the country. This is a laudable roadmap for getting results and productively addressing the multifarious statehood problems that assail the country.
Different news platform have been putting up speculations with modalities on the nominees giving privileges to some sect of person to nominate but personally I will recommend wholeheartedly Prof Ademola with his years of experience in the cyber security sector which further aid in the disposition of our Artificial Intelligence and Facilitate the quality of our security forces I am confident that Prof Ademola will deliver excellently
I point to one such Nigerian, Prof. Ojo Emmanuel Ademola, a renowned Professor of Cyber Security, and a redoubtable Information Technology expert, an international scholar of high repute and a versatile resource person who teaches in England to President Tinubu. He merits being tapped to work on the new administration because he has a lot to give Nigeria. He needs to be on board because he possesses the apt and proper qualities to add value to governance in Nigeria.
Knowing prof Ojo Ademola for few months now sharing the same political ideology as ardent progressives. His interests in President Tinubu Administration encouraged me to work passionately towards the triumph of progressivism in Nigerian politics. We were together in crusading for the triumph of APC to retain power in 2023
What was spectacular in this long involvementof Prof Ademola , he did not receive even a verbal acknowledgement from that government. I didn’t get any. I know Prof Ademola didn’t receive any. I know thousands of other Nigerians that didn’t receive any. So it was patriotism; raw patriotism that made us carry on, at our expense, to defend the regime against the deliberate subterfuge of an opposition driven by selfish interests.
So, meeting Prof Ademola casually online and we have remained online ever since then through consistency as he engage me thoroughly thru his endless passion for good governance , I can attest to his consistency in his disposition on his career path Since we knew ourselves, we often carry out collaborative efforts to promote the progressive cause and what we felt was right and appropriate in the Nigerian nation through weekly publication
Prof Ademola is a rated academic in the UK where he lives a secure life. But this hasn’t slowed him from displaying heightened interest in what happens transpired here in the country he has been a strong voice in promoting the relevancy of our nation , especially the governance interest in Nigeria. This marvels me. So, in Prof. Ademola, we have a fervent nationalist who physically stays outside Nigeria but whose heart permanently resides here.
We launched into the Asiwaju Bola Tinubu campaign of presidency with fervent passion particular thru weekly publication that cut across local and international outlets , even when the ambition was a whispering project. He was emphasising on the fact that Asiwaju Tinubu remained the best for Nigeria and we didn’t stutter in proclaiming this.
Prof Ademola was consistent in his quest for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to be Nigeria’s president personally. He wrote a well-received weekly feature that covered every inch of the Asiwaju ambition, the promises and prospects of his presidency and proclaimed it as the panacea to Nigeria’s governance problems.
In his many features on Asiwaju, his campaign, manifesto and ambition, Prof. Ademola emphatically told Nigerians that Asiwaju was a rare opportunity Nigeria could not afford to miss like that of our dear late Mko Abiola. He expressed why Asiwaju was the best for Nigeria and navigated through a sectoral appraisement of the Tinubu presidency to convince his readers that Asiwaju was the best choice Nigerians needed to continue the party ideology with his unique concert of Renewed Hope. He targeted all sections of the country with his frantic incisive campaign. He never halted for a minute and his faith in the envisaged Tinubu presidency grew stronger as the election dream nearer and this persisted till Asiwaju was eventually elected on February 25. Even after Victory was secured, Prof Ademola continued his scholarly interventions by setting agenda for the new government; all ensured assisting the Tinubu government to secure good results for Nigerians and pointing the way to how best the country could be governed to benefit every citizen.
Prof Ademola with his requisite academic, intellectual, and professional competence in assisting the Tinubu led government to deliver critical dividends to Nigerians. He has the capabilities in making a difference in the Nigerian system. As Africa’s first Professor of Cyber Security and Information Technology Management, a versatile academic sitting on the board of several local and foreign universities, Prof Ademola is what Nigeria needs to firm and develop its critical Information Technology architecture and positively impact the nation’s Education sector.
As a Professor of Cyber Security/IT Management,He is an Executive Committee Member
BCS ELITE – The Computing Leadership Forum, a BCS & CMI Subject Matter Expert, The Trademark Owner of Power-Age (Management Consulting), a
Governing Council Member, College of Technology and Management, American International University, West Africa, Gambia, an
International Advisory Board member of Dominican University Ibadan Nigeria, the Chair, Power-Age, and Institute for Enterprise Management and Analytics, I believe getting a ministerial appointment will be big win for the nation considering his years of experience, level of expertise he’ll be applying particularly in the area of ICT and digital Economy.
Prof. Ademola for several years of experience working with, various consulting and advising international organizations and agencies, and policy advocacy groups on wide-ranging areas and disciplines. His level of expertise in Education, cyber security, privacy and artificial intelligence gives him a commanding edge to make Asiwaju’s ministerial list. The President should not miss the opportunity to tap this raw gem and bring him to work for Nigeria at this time in our history where Information Technology has become the new gold mine. President Tinubu needs to recruit this renowned hand to imbue enormous value on his government and enrich the Renewed Hope Era government with such a tested technocrat and renowned progressive as Prof. Ojo Emmanuel Ademola
He is one of the best experts in Education, Leadership and management (the first Professor of African descent to be a Chartered Manager in the UK since 2012), Cyber Security and Information Technology Management, Communication and Digital Economy, and Intelligence and Security Management.
Also, Prof Ademola is one of the very few international scholars in Education, Cyber Security, Security Studies, Leadership and Management with a Google Knowledge Panel (GKP). He is a Consultant to the British Computer Society, a chartered fellow of highly reputable Royal Chartered Learned societies, and a Member of the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Chatham House, London.
