“The Fellowship status also grants Professor Pantami the authority to participate in the accreditation and validation of skills for new members while working alongside corporate members, the academia and government entities.

“In addition, Professor Pantami has developed several policies and regulations that are currently being implemented to promote cybersecurity.

“Amongst other policies, Professor Pantami developed and is implementing the Revised NIN-SIM Registration Policy and the National Policy for Unmasking SIMS and its enforcement, blocking of 2.4 million unregistered SIM cards in 2019, and secured enrolment process for over 87 million citizens and residents in Nigeria and the Diaspora, on the national identity database.”
