Telecom networks increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks, experts warn

The Nigerian Communications Commission announced the development of a national cybersecurity framework on June 4, 2025, in Lagos to protect the telecom sector.
This effort arose from the rapid growth in Nigeria’s telecom industry and increasing cyber threats affecting critical infrastructure and data privacy laws.
The framework will set minimum security requirements, tier companies by data sensitivity, and address evolving risks from technologies like Open RAN and 5G.
Committee Chair Babagana Digima highlighted that cybersecurity has become an essential requirement, not a choice, and noted that improving cybersecurity maturity by 10% could significantly enhance GDP across Africa.
The NCC will collaborate with stakeholders to implement safeguards, aiming to strengthen Nigeria's digital ecosystem against rising cybercrime risks.
