Lagos Introduces Comprehensive Cybersecurity Framework to Strengthen Digital Safety

The Lagos State Government has launched a new set of cybersecurity guidelines designed to help businesses, public institutions and residents safeguard their digital assets. Aligned with national laws such as the Cybercrime Act and the Nigeria Data Protection Act, the framework offers clear best practices tailored to small and medium-sized enterprises, large organisations and government agencies. As Africa’s fastest-growing tech hub, Lagos faces rising cyber risks that cost Nigeria an estimated $500 million (₦250 billion) each year. The guidelines are a resource—not a regulation—and will be updated regularly to address emerging threats. Officials say this move will boost innovation, attract investment and build public trust in Lagos’s digital infrastructure.
