Аннотация. Given Nigeria's growing reliance on technology, it is imperative that the country take a comprehensive approach in order to strengthen its cybersecurity posture. This article provides an analysis of the current vulnerabilities, focusing on the limitations of the regulatory frameworks that are now in place, the degrees of public awareness, and the protection from vital infrastructure. As a result, it is recommended that a multi-pronged plan be proposed in order to solve these difficulties. The establishment of a comprehensive cybersecurity law, the implementation of national awareness campaigns and the incorporation of cybersecurity education into curriculums, the execution of vulnerability assessments and the enforcement of stricter protocols for critical infrastructure sectors, the investment in capacity building programmes to develop a skilled cybersecurity workforce, and the promotion of international cooperation to share best practices and threat intelligence are all included. Through the implementation of these interrelated measures, Nigeria is able to considerably boost its cybersecurity defences and develop a digital environment that is safer for its residents and enterprises.
