Strategies to Safeguard Nigeria’s Telecom Infrastructure from Cyber Threats

By  Milcah   Tanimu

Telecom infrastructure is vital for Nigeria’s economic growth. However, it faces constant threats from cyberattacks, theft, and vandalism. To combat these issues, IHS Towers, the Association of Licensed Telecom Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) presented strategies to protect these assets.

At the 30th Nigerian Economic Summit, experts emphasized the need for safeguards. They focused on developing a robust Critical National Information Infrastructure Protection Plan (CNIIPP). This plan aims to secure the telecom sector and support national security and digital development.

Dapo Otunla, Senior Vice President at IHS (Nigeria), spoke about the company’s efforts to work with the government. They plan to equip millions of Nigerians with digital skills and foster innovation. He urged stakeholders to collaborate on protecting Nigeria’s telecom infrastructure.

ALTON Chairman, Gbenga Adebayo, praised the federal government for issuing an executive order. This order designates telecom infrastructure as critical. He stressed the need for a comprehensive protection plan to achieve the order’s goals.

With stronger regulations in place, stakeholders believe these protections will enhance Nigeria’s digital economy. They aim to secure the nation’s telecom infrastructure effectively.
