The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has stated that cybercrime is a national security issue.
It also noted that cybercrime undermines trust, exploits vulnerabilities, and disproportionately affects the most vulnerable in society.
The UNODC Country Representative in Nigeria, Cheikh Toure, made this known during the Nigerian Police Force National Cybercrime Centre’s 2025 Cybersecurity Awareness Campaign to mark Cybersecurity Awareness Month in Abuja on Saturday.
