Nigeria Launches National Cybercrime Team with Commonwealth, UK Support

Nigeria has officially launched its National Cybercrime Working Group (NCWG), aimed at strengthening the country’s response to digital threats. The initiative was developed with support from the Commonwealth Secretariat and the United Kingdom.

The NCWG will coordinate efforts across Nigeria’s law enforcement, regulatory, and security agencies to tackle cybercrime more effectively. It also aligns with the country’s National Cybersecurity Policy and Strategy, reinforcing its commitment to combat online criminal activity.

The launch is part of a broader Commonwealth cybercrime initiative that helps member countries improve legal and technical frameworks to address cyber threats.
