review
In 2015, the UN universally endorsed the lofty SDGs to eradicate poverty and promote prosperity for all by 2030. The digital economy cannot survive without essential national infrastructure cybersecurity protection, which is key to SDGs. This study reviews the extant legal regimes regulating cybersecurity in Nigeria, analysing its effectiveness, challenges and future directions. Canada's cybersecurity law system is also examined to help Nigerian policymakers learn to implement efficient cybersecurity measures and cybercrime protection in Nigeria. A novel finding is that Nigeria's legal structure has helped the digital economy succeed, notably in preventing, protecting, and prosecuting cyber criminals, and highlighted problems and future directions. The research recommends that policymakers enact a strong cybersecurity framework structure for Nigeria in accordance with what is currently available in Canada's legal system.
