With over 134 million internet users and expanding 5G coverage, officials say securing digital infrastructure is now a national imperative.
Youth empowerment will take centre stage, as Nigeria’s predominantly young population—90% of whom are online—is seen as vital to closing Africa’s cybersecurity workforce gap, currently estimated at 68,000 unfilled roles.
