The Federal Government says it is determined to protect Nigerians’ rights and privacy in the digital space. To achieve this, it said it has developed several policy and regulatory frameworks to strengthen cybersecurity.
The Assistant Director, Cybersecurity Department, National Information Technology Development Agency, Dr. Ayodele Bakare, said this during an interview with News men in Abuja today.
He said that cybersecurity governance in Nigeria is implemented through a collaborative approach involving multiple government institutions with different responsibilities.
According to him, the Office of the National Security Adviser provides overall coordination of national cybersecurity efforts through the National Cybersecurity Coordination Centre, which serves as its operational arm.
Bakare said that one of the key policy instruments guiding the country’s cybersecurity efforts is the National Cybersecurity Policy and Strategy Framework.
