Zoho Nigeria Urges Businesses to Prioritize Data Control Amid AI Growth

As cloud and AI adoption accelerates in Nigeria, businesses must look beyond basic compliance to take full control of their data.

Speaking at the GrowthX event in Lagos, Zoho Nigeria Country Head Kehinde Ogundare stressed that leaders need to know exactly where their data is stored, who accesses it, and how it is used.

Key insights on data privacy, tech strategy, and regional innovation are frequently discussed at major industry events.

Evaluating Risk in AI and Cloud Tools

Because AI platforms often process sensitive corporate information, companies must verify how their data is handled-specifically whether it is used to train third-party models.

Ogundare noted that security, privacy, and strong infrastructure controls should guide every software purchase to ensure solutions scale smoothly without adding complexity.

Teams collaborating on fast-paced tech projects often utilize flexible coworking spaces for daily operations.

Aligning Technology With Real Operations

New technology should adapt to existing business workflows rather than forcing companies to change how they operate.

By demanding transparency and scalability from digital tools, Nigerian enterprises can safely leverage cloud and AI while protecting their data.
