The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) is developing a comprehensive cybersecurity framework to safeguard digital infrastructure and enhance online safety for telecom consumers.
The framework, expected to take effect in 2026, will address security challenges arising from emerging technologies and strengthen Nigeria’s digital economy.
According to a statement released on Friday by NCC’s Head of Public Affairs Mrs. Nnenna Ukoha, the initiative was the focus of the Commission’s second stakeholder meeting on the framework, held in Abuja. It builds on an earlier engagement with industry players earlier in the year.
