    I have an entirely new knowledge on cyber security, this course is an eye opener. I have short of words to express how important it is and how it changed my view and habit entirely. I my discipline is not on computer or related to cyber security. But I have plans to enroll in cyber security course in the nearest feature. If you have an opening kindly let me know ASAP. I appreciate the organizing committee and all stakeholders that ensured I benefited from this priceless opportunity. Thank you once again

    I have learnt a lot, especially about data protection, when it comes to using AI. I have been able to understand how to safely use AI without exposing my organisation's sensitive data. Also, I now use a different password manager to generate different passwords for my logins, unlike before, when I thought using the same password for everything was actually safe, and the MFA on all my APPs and logins Thank you so much for an insighful cousre, i will put to use everything I have learned with immediate effect.

    Taking this course was a good match for me as it's really an eye opener to how to secure my Organization's Data as well as my own Personal Data from Cyber threats. The Course is well structured as it put me through the importance and true need of Cyber Security from scratch to how to maintain all I've learnt. I'm super proud of myself to be among those nominated in my organization (NSPRI) to be part to this great Training. Kudos to the Team and facilitators. More WINs....!

    Attending the Cybersecure Nigeria was a turning point for me. The sessions made me realise how vulnerable systems can be if not build our culture in line with the good policies and secure behavioural pattern. I especially valued the videos, hands-on questions and post-seminar or webnar. The facilitators connected every technical concept to real-world consequencies in our Universities. I finished the training not only more aware but also more confident in applying what i have learnt for stronger security practices in my daily work. This experience will undoubtedly make me more productive and responsible in handling cybersecurity issues and AI systems. Dr. Olutayo Ajayi, FUNAAB

I really thank the organizers of this training and also appreciate all the team. God will continue to strengthen and protect you all, more grease to your elbow. God bless you all 🙏.
