Speaking to ITREALMS in Lagos on Thursday, January 29, 2026 at a sideline event for ICT editors, Abodunrin emphasized that artificial intelligence is not merely a technical tool but a transformational frontier capable of unlocking prosperity, resilience, and global leadership for the continent.

With nearly thirty years of expertise spanning AI disruption, cybersecurity, and behavioral intelligence, he positioned himself at the vanguard of Africa’s digital evolution, advocating for a future where innovation is ethically aligned and strategically engineered for sovereign advantage.

The international bestselling author and founder of Cubed Integrated Consulting noted that his mission is to decode the emergent systems currently reshaping markets and redefining competitive advantages.

Abodunrin, who is frequently sought after by C-suite executives and policymakers, argued that African transformation must move beyond simply mimicking global models. Stressing instead, that the continent’s digital ecosystem must reflect local cultures, unique socio-economic challenges, and collective aspirations.

By integrating behavioral psychology with foresight strategy, Abodunrin said, his frameworks are designed to prepare leaders for systemic disruptions before they escalate into crises, ensuring that African institutions can thrive amid global volatility.

Focusing on a philosophy rooted in African realities, Abodunrin’s advisory services prioritize strategic AI governance tailored for regional economies and the protection of sovereign infrastructure through robust cyber intelligence frameworks.
