A Nigerian researcher says INEC's own documents suggest the BVAS election device may run Android 6 or 7, operating systems that lost security support years ago. The claim is probable but unconfirmed, and that opacity is the deeper danger. Dr. Sunday Oludare Ogunlana examines what the finding means for the Osun vote and the 2027 general elections, why adversaries only need to weaponize doubt, and the four steps INEC must take to restore verifiable trust in Nigeria's election t

Nigeria's National Board for Technology Incubation (NBTI) has signed an MoU with the Commonwealth Businesswomen's Network and UKALD Ltd. to expand its NextGen Innovation Challenge across all 56 Commonwealth Member States. OSRS assesses the London signing as a strategic win for Nigerian innovation diplomacy, Global South technology sovereignty, and youth enterprise development, with a formal launch planned at CHOGM in Antigua and Barbuda this November ahead of the full 2027 pr

During my courtesy visit to NBTI Director General Dr. Kazeem Kolawole Raji in Abuja, I delivered one message: technology incubation is Nigeria's answer to unemployment, insecurity, and hunger. Nigeria should adopt Japan's post-war model of acquiring and adapting technology, lead Africa's AI downstream economy, and engage China's open-source AI wave on sovereign terms. NBTI is not just an agency; it is the engine room of national survival and the pillar on which Africa stands.

For decades, valuable research stayed locked in archives and labs. That is changing fast. At the Canada-Africa Innovation Festival in Toronto, NBTI Director-General Dr. Kazeem Kolawole Raji urged a global shift toward turning research into products, companies, and jobs. But when local ideas become global businesses, they become security and policy concerns too. This OSRS analysis breaks down technology commercialization in plain terms and the three guardrails every innovator

NASA's Artemis II mission is the first crewed lunar flight in over 50 years. But beyond the historic headlines lies a sobering reality: the cybersecurity gaps it exposes in crewed deep space systems mirror the vulnerabilities threatening power grids, hospitals, and defense networks right here on Earth.

A Los Angeles jury has found Meta and YouTube legally liable for the mental health harm caused to a young woman who began using their platforms as a child. The landmark verdict awards $3 million in damages and opens the door to punitive damages and thousands of similar lawsuits. OSRS breaks down what this means for digital policy, child safety, and the future of Big Tech accountability.

At the Cisco AI Summit on February 3, 2026, Sam Altman offered a sobering message. Artificial intelligence is advancing faster than institutions can absorb it. The real barriers are not compute or power, but outdated security models, software not built for AI coworkers, and governance frameworks struggling to keep pace.

Choosing the right AI certification in 2026 can define your career trajectory. This in-depth guide compares the top in-demand AI certifications across cloud engineering, cybersecurity, governance, audit, and privacy. Designed for students, professionals, managers, and public sector leaders, it provides practical insights to support informed decision-making.

Davos 2026 marked a turning point for artificial intelligence and cybersecurity governance. Leaders no longer debated innovation. They focused on control, trust, and resilience. From AI accountability to systemic cyber risk and quantum readiness, the World Economic Forum signaled a new era where security and governance define technological progress.

A Los Angeles courtroom is redefining digital accountability. As social media companies face trial over youth harm claims, the focus shifts from content to product design, algorithms, and responsibility. This case could reshape policy, AI governance, and platform safety standards worldwide.

Agentic AI systems can plan, decide, and act without constant human input. While powerful, this autonomy introduces serious security and governance risks. This article explains how autonomous decision systems work, why existing controls fall short, and what organizations must do to protect trust, safety, and accountability in an AI-driven world.

President Trump’s new AI Executive Order launches the Genesis Mission, a sweeping national effort to unify Big Tech, universities, and federal agencies. This article explains what the order means for intelligence, law enforcement, cybersecurity, and national security, and how OSRS can help organizations prepare for the future of AI.

At the NextGen Innovation Showcase 2025 in Abuja, Dr. Raji, DG of NBTI, declared a bold new narrative for Nigeria: “We are not a nation of fraudsters. We are a nation of thinkers, builders, and solvers.” His words captured the spirit of a movement driven by indigenous innovation and global ambition.

During a visit to Dr. Kazeem Raji of NBTI, Dr. Oludare Ogunlana emphasized Nigeria's urgent need to lead in innovation and technology. While Gulf nations invest billions in AI and smart infrastructure, Nigeria must realign its priorities, reform higher education, and harness its diaspora to build a self-reliant tech economy. The future will be defined by those who innovate, not those who wait.

NBTI partners with the Patents and Designs Registry to launch a Technology Innovation Support Centre, boosting IP protection and innovation.

Partnerships with global tech hubs can position Nigeria as a leader in technology and innovation.
