The National Conference with a theme, “Pandemic and Insecurity: The Mathematical Perspectives,” intends to recommend and provide solutions to the challenges of pandemic and security through the adoption of mathematical techniques, models, among others. Further, different techniques of mathematical optimisation are being applied by many developed and developing countries all over the world towards addressing the challenges of security, economy, and health. The United States of America, China, Egypt, Russia, India, and South Korea have achieved a lot through the deployment of the techniques.

Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, who is a professor of cybersecurity with the Federal University of Technology Owerri, Imo State, has earlier proposed the application of calculus and algebra towards addressing many worldly challenges. As a result, he has been selected to serve as the keynote speaker.
