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 the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Monday.
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.
“At the national level, cybersecurity implementation is done collectively, and different government organisations are responsible for implementing different aspects of the national cybersecurity framework.
“At the top, however, the Office of the National Security Adviser coordinates these efforts through the National Cybersecurity Coordination Centre,” he said.
