As cyberattacks intensify across Nigeria, global cybersecurity firm SecDojo is doubling down on its partnership with the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) to shore up the country’s digital defences. With Nigeria set to host the 2025 Cybersecurity Conference, the alliance underscores a growing urgency to build cyber resilience amid a surge in high-profile breaches and a sharp rise in the nation’s threat ranking.

The two parties signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in April at GITEX Africa in Marrakech, laying out a framework that includes national strategy development, practical training programmes, the establishment of a cybersecurity academy, and a tailored curriculum to meet local needs.

Speaking to Techpression, SecDojo CEO Younes Benzagmout reiterated the company’s intent to deepen its presence in Nigeria and support government efforts to build a resilient digital infrastructure.

Cyber threats remain a critical concern. Between May and December 2024, Nigeria climbed from 35th to 13th on the Global Threat Index, signalling a surge in cyberattacks. High-profile breaches, including hacks of the JAMB and WAEC examination systems, highlight systemic vulnerabilities. The country recorded 2,721 cyber incidents in the first half of 2024 alone.

While government initiatives such as the National Cybersecurity Policy and Strategy and the Nigerian Computer Emergency Response Team (ngCERT) mark progress, experts argue that international partnerships are essential to achieving long-term cyber resilience.

This isn’t SecDojo’s first foray into the region. The company sponsored the last ECOWAS Hackathon, awarding ₦20 million to the overall winner. The company is also sponsoring another hackathon for the forthcoming Nigerian Cybersecurity Conference 2025. This is in furtherance of other programs and initiatives that are emerging from the partnership with NITDA.
