With technology being the major driver of modern business, there is a need for consistent capacity development for professionals to cope with the business challenges, according to the President of Council (CIBN), Ken Opara, of Nigeria. He made this statement at the 2022 graduates’ induction and prize awards day held in Lagos.

Opara underscored that factors such as fintech, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, blockchain, cryptocurrencies, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) are driving these changes.
