African Children Cyber Safety Forum Report

2010 African Children Cyber Safety Forum Report


The report of second edition of the annual African Children Cyber Safety Forum organised by the African Children Cyber Safety Initiative (ACCSI) and promoted by the African Information Security Association (AISA) has been published. The forum was held on Tuesday, 25th May 2010 at Grace Schools, Gbagada, Lagos, Nigeria.

The learning atmosphere though serious was interspersed with fun. Of course what else could be expected with the children in the driver seat? With children in their element, it was a mix of learning, awareness, inspiration and entertainment. Who actually would not be encouraged to give his or her best when the hosts themselves - Grace Schools - presented all attendees with a serene, suitable and secure environment? Everything was in place; there was no cause for regret. What an unforgettable event!


The high point of the event was the presentations by the participating schools on the theme of the Forum. Star performers were Busayo Fayemi and Victoria Idunoba who delivered a captivating presentation on behalf of Unique Children School Omole, Ikeja, Lagos
