Technology: AI Governance Is No Longer Optional

Admin

  As AI systems increasingly influence decisions in hiring, finance, healthcare, security, and public services, organizations are being held accountable for risk, bias, transparency, and oversight. Yet many professionals are expected to govern AI without clear frameworks, regulatory guidance, or practical tools. In January 2026, I’ll be leading a live AI Governance & Compliance training cohort designed for professionals operating in regulated and high-accountability environments. This is not about AI tools or productivity hacks. It’s about governance, compliance, and defensibility. Details coming shortly. #AIGovernance #AICompliance #ResponsibleAI #AIEthics #RiskManagement #AIRegulation #TrustworthyAI…

Opinion: Strengthening Nigeria’s Response To Terrorism -A Call To Action

Admin

      ..… Message To President Donald Trump J.     By Rero Miracle Ogwilaya           Nigeria is not facing a Christian genocide. What we face today is a growing terrorism threat that does not discriminate by faith: these violent actors target Muslims and Christians alike. That distinction matters because the remedies for communal fear and sectarian narratives are different from the remedies for insurgency, guerrilla tactics and organised terror. Confusing one for the other weakens our response and hands the advantage to those who…
