Stakeholders Urge Use Of ICT To Boost Businesses
Stakeholders in the Infor
mation and Communication Technology (ICT) sector have urged for the adoption of Standard ICT as a way to boost businesses in the country.
The stakeholders stated this at this year’s edition of the digital information forum held in Lagos on Monday.
Speaking to newsmen on behalf of the stakeholders, Head Business Transformation, Diamond Bank Plc Abimbola Ogutunde said the adoption of ICT would provide best international standards for business continuity and information security that would help improve organizational business through planned and effective business management.
Ogutunde said the benefits from adoption of ICT would include organisation-wide identification and understanding of critical business processes.
He said that one of the key benefits of the global best practice standards for business continuity and information security was suitability to businesses of all sizes across all sectors and the protection of the organisation against threats specific to its business.
He explained that with the compliance programme of the ICT such as ISO 27001, ISO 22301 would help provide a better framework for assessing critical suppliers and their associated risks.
Ogutunde further explained that ICT helps in assessing current business practices and planning contingency measures in accordance with project management standards.

Kenyan Runners Dominate Berlin Marathons
Kenya made it a clean sweep at the Berlin Marathon with Sabastian Sawe winning the men’s race and Rosemary Wanjiru triumphing in the women’s.
Sawe finished in two hours, two minutes and 16 seconds to make it three wins in his first three marathons.
The 30-year-old, who was victorious at this year’s London Marathon, set a sizzling pace as he left the field behind and ran much of the race surrounded only by his pacesetters.
Japan’s Akasaki Akira came second after a powerful latter half of the race, finishing almost four minutes behind Sawe, while Ethiopia’s Chimdessa Debele followed in third.
“I did my best and I am happy for this performance,” said Sawe.
“I am so happy for this year. I felt well but you cannot change the weather. Next year will be better.”
Sawe had Kelvin Kiptum’s 2023 world record of 2:00:35 in his sights when he reached halfway in 1:00:12, but faded towards the end.
In the women’s race, Wanjiru sped away from the lead pack after 25 kilometers before finishing in 2:21:05.
Ethiopia’s Dera Dida followed three seconds behind Wanjiru, with Azmera Gebru, also of Ethiopia, coming third in 2:21:29.
Wanjiru’s time was 12 minutes slower than compatriot Ruth Chepng’etich’s world record of 2:09:56, which she set in Chicago in 2024.
