“Addressing it requires a concerted approach by all stakeholders within the security architecture. I, therefore, call for the elimination of inter-agency rivalries and urge law enforcement agencies to embrace a coordinated, collaborative approach.”

Acknowledging the government’s determination to combat insecurity, Tinubu noted a significant increase in cybercrime threats.
“Our administration is steadfast in its fight against all forms of criminal activity. Cybercrime is an emerging and evolving threat. We are witnessing an increase in activities by cybercriminals, online fraudsters, and cyber terrorists who exploit the Internet for their destabilizing activities,” he stated.
