Consulting firm harps on investing in cybersecurity to save Nigeria from economic doldrums

Nigeria can be one of the highest producers of Cybersecurity professionals in the world and earn large foreign exchange, as a way to save the country from its present economic doldrums.

The Head Operations of Wellspring Consulting, Omowunmi Oyetinbo, made this assertion while calling on government, private organisations and individuals to partner Wellspring Consulting and invest more in the training of the Nation's youth as cyber security professionals.

According to Oyetinbo, "the consulting firm is well grounded in training cybersecurity professionals which would open doors to endless career possibilities in the ever evolving tech-industry, both locally and globally.

"Wellspring consulting is set to partner various organisations to sponsor young Nigerians, especially young women in building a career in Cybersecurity.

"The firm offers training and free global certification with a globally ranked IT security organization, she said.

Oyetinbo who describes cybersecurity as the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks, said Nigeria faces a critical shortage of cybersecurity professionals while there is high demand for the profession globally.

She assured that any investment or training in cybersecurity would yield bountifully for Nigeria.
