Osun’s Cybersecurity Blind Spot: Why Local Talent Must Rise
The headlines about data breaches, identity theft, and digital scams are no longer distant news—they’re happening closer to home. And as Osun State grows digitally, so does its vulnerability. But here’s the real pain point: we’re building a digital future without enough local defenders to protect it. Where’s the Local Cybersecurity Talent? Osun has some of the brightest minds in Nigeria. From UniOsun to Ede Polytechnic, Redeemer’s University to Kings University, students are exploring tech like never before. But when it comes to cybersecurity—arguably one of the most urgent areas in tech—many institutions are still playing catch-up. The good news? Some schools are stepping up. There are emerging cybersecurity academies in Adeleke University, Kings University, Iree Polytechnic, and others. But access is still limited. What about hands-on cybersecurity classes in Osogbo? Or flexible, real-world cybersecurity education in Ile-Ife and Ede Polytechnic? We need more than computer science theory—we need bootcamps, practical labs, real-case training, and centers that focus on defensive skills, ethical hacking, and cyber resilience. Students Are Hungry for More Than Just Degrees We’ve spoken with students across Osun—from WAEC graduates to polytechnic students—and the feedback is clear: they want skills that matter now. Many are actively searching for: Cybersecurity courses for WAEC graduates Cybersecurity education in UniOsun and Redeemer’s University Cybersecurity classes for post-secondary youth Cybersecurity courses for university students and young tech enthusiasts They’re not waiting for the future to arrive—they want to be part of building and securing it. A Movement Is Starting—And Dataslid Academy Is Part of It That’s where Dataslid Academy comes in. We’re not just offering classes—we’re building a cybersecurity center in Osun State focused on real skills, mentorship, and job readiness. Our programs are tailored for: Students in places like Ile-Ife, Osogbo, Iree, and beyond Those attending schools like Adeleke University, Ede Polytechnic, and Kings University Young people who don’t have degrees but have drive We’ve designed beginner-friendly paths for WAEC graduates, structured modules for polytechnic students, and advanced options for university students and tech enthusiasts. And yes, we’re also hosting intensive cybersecurity bootcamps in Osun—because not everyone can afford to wait four years to get job-ready. Explore more at
