National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, mandated all relevant entities, including law enforcement agencies, regulators, businesses, and stakeholders, to ensure compliance.
This directive follows a recent high-level African International Counter Terrorism Meeting in Abuja, where leaders emphasized the urgency of bolstering cybersecurity efforts and preventing the exploitation of social media and other platforms by terrorists and criminal groups.
Ribadu stated the imperative of securing Nigeria's digital space and safeguarding national interests, citing provisions in the Cybercrimes Act.
Additionally, he stated the implementation of a levy on electronic transactions to fund the National Cybercrime Fund.
