Nigeria must intensify cyber security ahead of broadband revolution https://nseglasgow.org.uk/nigeria-must-intensify-cyber-security-ahead-of-broadband-revolution/ Thu, 18 Mar 2021 10:03:38 +0000 https://nseglasgow.org.uk/?p=2768 To ensure maximum impact of the New National Broadband Plan (NNBP 2020-2025), Nigeria will need to pay adequate attention to cyber security matters.

The need to ensure tighter cyberspace in Nigeria became necessary, following the projected upsurge in online activities as a result of the implementation of the NNBP.

Already, with the NNBP, Nigeria eyes 70 per cent broadband penetration (which is currently 42.9 per cent) by 2025.

The new Broadband Plan is designed to deliver data download speeds across Nigeria of a minimum 25Mbps in urban areas, and 10Mbps in rural areas, with effective coverage available to at least 90 per cent of the population by 2025 at a price not more than N390 per 1GB of data.
