In an effort to fortify the country’s digital infrastructure, the federal government will construct a state-of-the-art cybersecurity and broadband laboratory in partnership with Cisco, a leading multinational cybersecurity corporation.

Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, on Wednesday announced the partnership on X (previously Twitter) following an inspection tour of the proposed facility. He did not, however, disclose the location of the facility.

The laboratory aims to bolster Nigeria’s digital economy by enhancing cybersecurity capabilities and expanding broadband infrastructure. Mr Tijani revealed that Cisco has committed substantial resources to the project in close collaboration with the ministry.
