NIGERIA'S CYBER SECURITY PROBLEM

Users at an internet cafe.

The average Nigerian is used to the tedious task of registering for digital services. The amount of information and data that is first collected is rich - our banks and cell phone service providers know our names, date of birth, address, how much we earn and even what we spend our money on. We routinely save our bank card details on company websites, and a lot of people reuse the same password across multiple sites. For most, giving up this information is just a necessary hurdle to overcome before they get the utility of a service. 

Few people question what happens to the data and the chances of it being stolen. Consumers are interested in getting service and see giving out data as a hurdle to overcome - that's fair enough. However, the data collectors don't always treat this data with the right amount of care. The conversation around data protection is yet to be fully discussed.
