NITDA, NDPC, Galaxy Backbone Back CyFrica 2026 as Nigeria's Cybersecurity Summit Returns

Nigeria's National Information Technology Development Agency, Nigeria Data Protection Commission, and state-owned Galaxy Backbone are backing CyFrica 2026, signalling coordinated public-sector engagement with cybersecurity as the country's digital economy approaches an estimated $18.3 billion. The involvement of the data protection regulator and national infrastructure provider suggests policy attention is shifting toward securing financial and data ecosystems alongside digital growth. For businesses, this alignment may foreshadow tighter compliance expectations and expanded public-private cybersecurity procurement.
