Calling on business leaders and public sector stakeholders to view digital transformation as a critical necessity rather than a long-term aspiration recently in Lagos, Dr. Patrick Ede, Director of Operations at PPC Limited, highlighted that the country’s current operating climate includes infrastructure instability, rising cyber threats, and economic volatility, and therefore demands more than conventional approaches.
He asserted that companies must now re-evaluate how they manage data, secure their assets, and serve customers in a digital-first world.

He stated that digital transformation in Nigeria must remain rooted in realism and not just follow global trends.
“It’s about using the right technology to solve the real challenges Nigerian businesses face every day. From poor connectivity to fragmented systems and weak cybersecurity readiness, organisations need frameworks that are resilient, scalable, and locally relevant.”

Explaining that Nigeria navigates a rapidly changing business and security landscape, Dr. Ede pointed out that many organisations continue to operate with fragmented digital systems or manual processes that expose them to risk and inefficiency.
As the need for reliable infrastructure and responsive data management grows, the industry technocrat stressed that the ability to adapt through integrated ICT systems is becoming increasingly essential, not only for competitiveness but also for survival.

Ede added, “Security concerns today are both physical and digital. Organisations must prepare for disruptions across both fronts. That requires systems that can anticipate threats, enable fast response, and minimise downtime.”
He specifically emphasised the importance of designing transformation efforts around Nigeria’s specific infrastructure, policy environment, and organisational realities.
