Lagos, Nigeria – Cyberspace Group has celebrated 30 years of innovation and service excellence, reaffirming its role as one of Nigeria’s pioneering technology and connectivity providers.

The milestone anniversary was marked with a high-profile event at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island, which brought together clients, partners, stakeholders, and friends of the company.

Dignitaries in attendance included the Founder, Dr. Jim Ovia, CFR, Chairman, Mrs. Kay Ovia, as well as senior executives, government officials, and industry leaders — underscoring the company’s enduring impact on Nigeria’s technology landscape.

Founded in 1995, Cyberspace Limited has evolved from offering early digital dial-up services into an award-winning provider of connectivity, fintech, cloud, cybersecurity, and enterprise networking solutions, serving Nigerian banks, government institutions, high-net-worth individuals, and corporates.

In his keynote speech, Dr. Ovia praised the company’s journey:
“From humble beginnings, we have grown into a diversified technology company delivering fintech, cloud, cybersecurity, and enterprise networking solutions across Nigeria.”

Chairman, Mrs. Ovia, reflecting on the Group’s trajectory, added:
“They have made it this far; they will certainly make it to a hundred. Our focus remains on innovation, service excellence, and building solutions that meet the evolving needs of our clients.”

As part of the celebrations, Cyberspace unveiled two new products:

• Erdvora – a bespoke learning management system designed for educational institutions, tutors, and learners. It offers interactive learning, automated teaching and exam processes, access to diverse content, and certification features.
• WatchGRID – a scalable, cost-effective surveillance solution tailored to meet security needs across organisations and communities.

The National President of the Association of Telecommunications Companies of Nigeria, Tony Emoekpere, commended the Group’s journey:
“Your transformation from an early digital dial-up service to a dynamic and diversified company is nothing short of inspirational. You are a model for what Nigerian technology firms can achieve.”

Senior Special Adviser on ICT to the President, Tokoni Igoin, also paid tribute to Dr. Ovia’s contributions:
“He founded Zenith Bank, one of Africa’s most successful financial institutions, and through Cyberspace, he laid the foundation for enterprise connectivity and digital infrastructure in Nigeria long before it became mainstream.”

Awards were presented to clients and partners in recognition of their role in Cyberspace’s growth, reflecting the company’s commitment to long-term relationships. The evening also featured a documentary on the company’s journey, client testimonials, and product showcases.
