“Cyber hygiene is the foundation of national security in the digital age. It begins with individual responsibility, how we manage our passwords, verify links, and protect our data but its impact extends far beyond the personal level. When every citizen adopts safe online practices, we collectively build stronger barriers against cybercriminals, misinformation, and data breaches. A secure nation is not only defined by its physical borders but also by the vigilance of its people in cyberspace.”
Mallam Nuhu Ribadu
"Threat actors are becoming more sophisticated, more resourced, and more coordinated. The tools and tactics they employ – from artificial intelligence-driven attacks to supply chain infiltrations and persistent threats targeting national infrastructure, demand that our strategies remain agile and forward-looking.
Cybersecurity is no longer just a technical or regulatory issue. It is a national imperative. It is a prerequisite for innovation, investment, and sustainable development. It is the bedrock upon which our digital economy, our critical services, and indeed our national sovereignty stand.
Our digital transformation comes with economic promise, but also increased exposure to threats. Resilience is no longer optional; it is the foundation of our national security."
Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta
"Our collective resolve is to continuously boost trust and confidence in our digital economy by ensuring adherence to sound cybersecurity culture and hygiene, internally and with external partners as well as stakeholders, The increase in technological advancement has also resulted in increase in cybercrimes, as well as identity theft and fake news campaigns that have introduced fresh dimensions that affect the notion of trust in the digital era. Notwithstanding, strong cybersecurity will have the advantage of reducing the surface of vulnerabilities in the digital economy that can be exploited. Thus, sound cybersecurity is a stimulus for secure and prosperous digital economy"
Dr. Isa Ali Pantami
“We should ensure that we secure our cyberspace through creating awareness; awareness is key, let people understand that when you go online you are exposed.
You need to take some precautions to ensure that you minimise the risks of exposing yourself to it.
If we create that awareness, it will go a long way in reducing the cybercrime we have in Nigeria."
