The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) and the United Kingdom are exploring strategic collaborations to enhance Nigeria’s national cybersecurity framework. This initiative aims to build a more resilient digital infrastructure to combat evolving cyber threats.
The partnership underscores the growing need for advanced cybersecurity measures to protect critical national assets, businesses, and citizens from cyber risks.
By leveraging the UK’s expertise in cybersecurity, Nigeria seeks to strengthen its defenses against cyberattacks, data breaches, and digital fraud.
According to NITDA, the collaboration will focus on knowledge exchange, capacity building, and the development of robust policies to safeguard Nigeria’s cyberspace.
This move aligns with the government’s broader digital transformation agenda and its commitment to fostering a secure and trusted digital economy.
As cyber threats continue to rise globally, this partnership is expected to enhance Nigeria’s ability to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber incidents effectively.
Stakeholders are optimistic that the initiative will lead to improved cybersecurity awareness, workforce development, and policy implementation.
