TAJBank Nigeria Limited, Nigeria’s leading non-interest banking services provider, has received three International Standards Organization (ISO) certifications for its commitment to customer safety assurance, service excellence, and business operations resilience prioritization since it commenced operations about two years ago.

The global recognition of the interest-free banking services provider by the Certification Partner Global (CPG) is coming on the heels of recent awards at domestic and international bagged by the lender over the last three months.

The latest certifications of TAJBank, which comprised the ISO 27001, ISO 22301, and ISO 20000 on Information Security, Business Continuity, and IT Service Management Systems respectively, demonstrated the bank’s commitment to prioritizing business operation resilience, customer safety, and service excellence at all times.

The issuance of the ISO 27001certification to TAJBank also proves its assurance to customers that it has duly applied applicable information security controls to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of customers’ information.

The CPG also stated that the ISO 22301was also an evidence that TAJBank business operation is conducted with best practices to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from unexpected and disruptive incidents.

According to a statement by the non-interest bank’s management on the certifications, aligning the three management standards (ISO 27001, 22301, and 20000) certification, will have huge impacts on the protection of revenue flow into TAJBank as their framework on how the bank running its strategic processes for continuous viability.

Commenting on the global certification of the lender, TAJBank’s Founder/Managing Director, Mr. Hamid Joda, said: “We are fully aware of the risk and impact involved in using technology to drive our businesses, this requires us to be increasingly aware of our roles and responsibilities in ensuring we actively play our part in following international best practices and standards to realize an effective operation of business models that can continuously provide metrics ensuring the protection of our customers’ information and privacy, operational resilience and excellent service delivery while keeping our commitments to our stakeholders.”

In his remarks, TAJBank’s Executive Director and Chief Marketing Officer, Mr. Sherif Idi, enthused: “We have become one of the few banks in the country to have successfully integrated and passed three rigorous management standards.

“This certification has further positioned and strengthened TAJBank’s quest to continually drive our digital banking strategy for world-class financial services that enable our customers’ security, excellent services, and meet regulatory requirements”, the banker assured.

Former Akwa Ibom State lawmaker Hon. Patrick Nathan Ifon, alongside three others, was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Public Governance and Leadership on Tuesday at the Abuja Leadership Centre (ALC) at Yakubu Gowon University, formerly known as the University of Abuja.

According to the external examiner, Professor Chika Oguonu from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN, the academic achievements were conferred after the candidates successfully fulfilled all requirements, including defending their theses on November 4, 2025, and pending approval of the University’s Senate.

Other recipients of the Doctoral degrees in Public Governance and Leadership include Obichi Godwin Obiajunwa, Ibiam Okechukwu Owora and Mohammed Hadi.

After the event, the Centre’s Director, Professor Philip Dahida, commended the external examiner for her professionalism, knowledge transfer, and commitment to evaluating the candidates’ work.

He charged all graduates to heed the advice of both external and internal examiners, while emphasising the need for them to put what they have learnt into practice in the wider society.

In his remarks, Hon. Patrick Ifon, who hitherto represented Eket/Onna/Esit Eket/Ibeno Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, lauded the institution for enhancing his capacity and vowed to impact his environment positively with the acquired knowledge.

Speaking on his thesis, which dwelt on the media in Nigeria and issues around agenda setting, the former lawmaker decried the challenges affecting media personnel from delivering on their mandate as watchdogs of the government.

He called on the government to collaborate with the Nigerian media and see them as partners rather than enemies. Adding that the government must invest in training and retraining of media persons to encourage balanced reportage. While urging members of the Nigerian media industry to maintain high ethical standards.

“The media is supposed to be like the gatekeepers in society, and is supposed to be keeping the government on its toes, but if the problems that militate against the media for a long time remain, then certainly it will not be able to function.

“The military must be transparent with the media and vice versa. they must relate in a way that makes them better professionals.

“My advice will be that the government should see the media as partners in progress, and once that is done, then it will be easier for them to deal with the media in a very transparent way and give them information,” Ifon stated.

The Abuja Leadership Centre is a TETFUND Centre of Excellence for Public Governance and Leadership, dedicated to enhancing public governance and leadership in Nigeria and beyond.
