  "account": "The Lagos chapter of the information technology professionals' organization, ISACA, has emphasized the necessity for robust cyber security frameworks to enhance governance, regulation, and compliance (GRC) in the future. This perspective was presented at the 2026 ISACA Annual Conference, held in Lagos, under the title \"Tech Warfare: GRC Playbook for 2026 and Beyond.\"\n\nMr. Justus Osuji, the president of ISACA Lagos, highlighted the importance of IT professionals becoming leaders who comprehend how governance, technology, cybersecurity, privacy, resilience, artificial intelligence, and business objectives interact. He elaborated that the rapidly evolving digital landscape and the swift advancements in artificial intelligence have outpaced many organizations' ability to adapt. Consequently, GRC can no longer be viewed as a mere support function or an occasional activity. Instead, GRC must be embedded as a strategic capability within every organization.\n\nDr. Adedoyin Talabi, a principal consultant at DataPulse Nigeria Limited, advocated for a broader approach to compliance, encouraging organizations to go beyond mere compliance and instead focus on cultivating a culture that embraces AI governance. He asserted that AI has emerged as a critical issue that necessitates organizations establishing committees dedicated to overseeing AI and implementing AI governance policies.\n\nProfessor Bongo Adi from Lagos Business School further emphasized the need for Africans and organizations to grasp and effectively utilize Artificial Intelligence as a means to empower themselves and fully capitalize on the advantages offered by AI tools.",
