Trust is infrastructureDigital transformation only scales when people believe systems are secure and accountable.

Direct answer

Cybersecurity and digital trust in Nigeria require strong data protection, resilient infrastructure, public awareness, incident response, and trustworthy digital services.

Security Is a Public Confidence Issue

Citizens will not trust digital services if their data is exposed, systems fail, or institutions cannot explain how decisions are made. Cybersecurity is therefore a leadership issue as much as a technical one.
