Cyber Criminals Are Threats To The Country- Buhari

Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has come out to lament the threats posed by online fraudsters and cyber criminals.

He also said the social media has become a tool for the spreading of subversive messages which are capable of inciting violence and unrest in the society.

The president was quoted as saying this in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, titled, ‘Why we must curb criminalities, use internet for national security and economic progress, by President Buhari ‘, on Tuesday.

The President who was speaking at the launch of the National Cybersecurity Policy and Strategy in Abuja today mentioned some major policies the government has created to increase penetration of the internet in the daily lives of citizens, particularly for the utilitarian purpose, with launch of National Broadband Plan 2020 – 2025 in March 2020; National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy 2020 – 2030; National Identity Program, Treasury Single Account and Bank Verification Number schemes.

According to him, “all these initiatives serve as enablers for tackling many of the economic and security challenges facing our country while also providing us with the platform to improve accountability and transparency in our unwavering resolve to tackle corruption.

“However, like many other countries across the globe, the growth and development of the internet is accompanied by significant problems. We are witnessing a rise in threats posed by cybercriminals, online financial fraudsters, and cyber terrorists who use the internet to cause apprehension,’’ he was quoted as saying.

“In October 2020, we all witnessed an escalation in the use of the social media for dissemination of subversive messages and incitement of violence which played a part in heightening tensions, causing unrest and spurring widespread acts of looting and destruction across the country” he added.
