First City Monument Bank (FCMB) has been recognised by the Lagos Chapter of the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA) for its contributions to technology governance, cybersecurity, risk management, audit, assurance and digital trust in Nigeria.
FCMB Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Yemisi Edun, received a commemorative plaque at ISACA Lagos Chapter’s 30th anniversary celebration in Lagos on August 21, according to a statement issued by the bank on Thursday.

“We value our partnership with ISACA,” Edun said. “This honour reflects our shared commitment to strengthening the professional capabilities and standards that underpin digital trust.”
She added that as financial services become increasingly technology-driven, effective governance, cybersecurity, risk management and assurance would remain critical to institutional resilience, customer protection and sustainable economic growth.

ISACA Global Chief Executive Officer, Erik Prusch, highlighted the experience and resilience of Nigeria’s information technology and cybersecurity professionals, stressing the need for organisations to have skilled personnel capable of supporting growth and adapting to emerging technologies.
President of the ISACA Lagos Chapter, Justus Osuji, said the anniversary offered an opportunity to reflect on three decades of professional service, leadership and knowledge development.
He also highlighted the chapter’s contributions to information systems auditing, cybersecurity, governance, risk, compliance and emerging technologies in Nigeria and beyond.
