Stakeholders in the information and communications technology (ICT)
industry have decried the Federal Government’s lack of attention to
passing an enabling legislature on Nigerians cyber space.
One of them, a member of the Nigerian Cybercrime Working Group (NCWG)
constituted to draft the first bill on Nigerian Cybercrime Act, in 2004,
Mr. David Isiavwe, lamented the non-existent of a cyber-law eight years
after.
While calling on the federal government to speed up the process as it
seeks to harmonise the bills that had been drafted, Isiavwe said
everyone who uses the internet is a stakeholder, and must look towards
having a legislature to protect him.
He said: "Everyone, including the students, employers of labour as well
as employees in public and private sectors, financial institutions,
telecoms operators and other organisations in the country must know that
cybercrime is real, and seek to be protected."
