In an era defined by digital transformation and rapid technological advancement, data has emerged as one of the most valuable assets an organization can possess.

From driving operational efficiency to enabling strategic decision-making, data management is no longer a luxury—it is a necessity. Yet, in many regions such as Nigeria, this understanding has yet to fully take root.

Globally, forward-thinking organizations are treating data as a strategic asset, building data-driven cultures, and investing in robust governance frameworks to ensure data quality, security, and utility.

Chief Data Officers (CDOs) are increasingly becoming key figures in the C-suite, responsible for overseeing data governance, compliance, analytics, and innovation.

However, in Nigeria—a country with a rapidly expanding digital economy—only four banks have appointed a CDO, highlighting a significant gap in data leadership and awareness.

This gap presents both a challenge and an opportunity. Without sound data management practices, organizations risk regulatory penalties, reputational damage, and operational inefficiencies. On the flip side, those who invest in proper data governance, data quality, metadata management, and master data strategies can unlock significant value and build a sustainable competitive advantage.

Berkeley Data Strategists: Leading the Change

Berkeley Data Strategists is proud to be at the forefront of this transformation. We are currently engaged with First Bank of Nigeria to empower their data team through the globally recognized Certified Data Management Professional (CDMP) program. This initiative provides practical, best-practice-based training aligned with DAMA-DMBOK2 standards, equipping First Bank’s team with the tools and knowledge to build a mature, agile, and secure data environment.

This partnership is a bold step in the right direction, positioning First Bank as a leader in data governance maturity within the Nigerian financial sector. By investing in CDMP certification and embedding best-in-class practices, First Bank is setting a benchmark for other institutions to follow.

A Call to Action for Nigerian Banks

We urge all banks and financial institutions across Nigeria to follow First Bank’s lead. The risks of poor data management are simply too high—and the benefits of getting it right are too great to ignore. Whether your organization is at the beginning of its data journey or seeking to elevate its existing capabilities, Berkeley Data Strategists is here to support you with tailored frameworks, expert-led training, and hands-on implementation support.

Contact us today to learn how we can help you transform your data into a trusted, strategic asset—because in today’s world, data is not just an IT issue—it’s a business imperative.

For consultation, training, and CDMP certification support, reach out to Berkeley Data Strategists at CEO@berkeleydatastrategists.com or visit www.berkeleydatastrategists.com.
