First City Monument Bank has been recognised by the Lagos Chapter of the Information Systems Audit and Control Association for its contributions to technology governance, cybersecurity, risk management, audit, assurance and digital trust in Nigeria.

Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of FCMB, Yemisi Edun, received a commemorative plaque recognising the bank’s contributions to digital trust and professional development at the ISACA Lagos Chapter’s 30th anniversary celebration in Lagos on August 21, a statement from the bank stated on Thursday.

The recognition also reflected the partnership between FCMB and ISACA in promoting knowledge sharing, professional development and stronger standards across Nigeria’s technology sector.

“We value our partnership with ISACA,” Edun said. “This honour reflects our shared commitment to strengthening the professional capabilities and standards that underpin digital trust. As financial services become more technology-driven, sound governance, cybersecurity, risk management, and assurance will remain essential to institutional resilience, customer protection, and sustainable economic growth.”

Edun expressed confidence that ISACA would continue to develop professionals with the expertise and leadership required to respond to emerging risks and opportunities.

ISACA Global CEO Erik Prusch highlighted the experience and resilience of Nigeria’s information technology and cybersecurity professionals. He said organisations needed trained and capable employees to support growth, respond to change and take advantage of emerging technologies.

President of the ISACA Lagos Chapter, Justus Osuji, said the anniversary provided an opportunity to reflect on three decades of professional service, leadership and knowledge development.

He also highlighted the chapter’s contributions to information systems auditing, cybersecurity, governance, risk, compliance and emerging technology in Nigeria and beyond.

FCMB continues to invest in digital capabilities, technology infrastructure, cybersecurity and risk management as part of its strategy to provide secure and convenient financial services to individuals, businesses and institutions.

Founded in 1969, ISACA is a global professional association focused on information technology governance, cybersecurity, risk management and information systems auditing. It has members in 188 countries and more than 225 chapters worldwide.
