The Chief
Executive Officer of the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, Umar Dantata,
says Nigeria currently ranks third globally in cyber crimes behind the
UK and
the U.S. The NCC boss made this known when he spoke Tuesday August 22nd, at the
ongoing 2017 Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, in
Lagos.
“About N127
billion was the estimated loss to cyber crime in Nigeria in 2015; Nigeria ranks
third in global internet crimes behind the UK and U.S. A critical factor
militating against Africa’s economic resurgence is the weakness of its
institutions. Nigeria ranks 169 out of 199 on the World Bank’s ease of doing
business rankings; we are in a middle of a revolution and the rise of what we
call the networked society. The NCC stipulates the laws of engagement that will
make the cyberspace safe and ensure the confidence as well as the safety of the
cyberspace,” he told the audience.
