Cybersecurity levy law hurriedly passed — Ndume commends Tinubu on suspension

The Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Ali Ndume, has commended President Bola Tinubu for suspending the 0.5% cybercrime levy that was earlier announced by the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.

“So, I am not surprised that he immediately ordered that it should be suspended. Secondly, it is good that the President has acted and so we will go back to the drawing table to look at the act again. The lawmaker, however, said the law was hurriedly passed, thereby leading to an oversight of some crucial details.

“So, I really want to commend the president for that. I also want to urge Nigerians to agree with this government that this cybercrime issue is one that its law needs to be critically upgraded.
