The Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, has said that the Federal Government will work collaboratively with the private sector and key stakeholders towards the establishment of a Cybersecurity Coordination Council.

‎This initiative, the minister said, is aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s collective cyber resilience and enhancing coordinated responses to evolving cyber threats across both the public and private sectors.

The Minister’s position underscores a broader policy direction centred on partnership and shared responsibility. “Cybersecurity is a shared national responsibility. Protecting Nigeria’s digital economy requires strong partnerships, trusted collaboration, and collective vigilance across government, industry, and civil society. Through collaborative action and sustained engagement, we are strengthening Nigeria’s capacity,” he said.
