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.

“They (Cisco) reaffirmed their commitment to support our digital transformation initiatives on various fronts on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA79) in New York, which is the outcome of ongoing conversations over the last few months,” the minister wrote on X.

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.

Additionally, a broadband innovation centre was established alongside a smart agriculture demonstration farm, and various technology learning hubs were developed.

The agreement with Cisco aligns with Nigeria’s National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy, which seeks to position the nation as a leader in Africa’s digital economy by enhancing digital skills, infrastructure, and cybersecurity resilience.
