Following repeated calls for signed petitions by Paradigm Initiative Nigeria (PIN) asking for cybercrime legislation for Nigeria, we’ve learned that a 20-page bill has been drafted by the National Security Adviser’s office.

In case you don’t know, Paradigm Initiative Nigeria (PIN) have been partnering with Microsoft Nigeria, the Economic & Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the World Bank Civil Society Program to implement a social campaign asking for cybercrime legislation for Nigeria.

The bill titled, *“A Bill for An Act to Protect Nigeria’s Cyberspace and Provide for the Prevention, Detection, Response and Prosecution of Cybercrimes and Related Matters”* seeks to provide for measures for the prevention, prohibition, combating of cybercrimes and threats to the cyberspace and to prescribe punishment for cybercrimes.

According to Part 1 of the Draft Bill, it reads:

*The objects and scope of this Act are to:*

*(a) provide an effective, unified and comprehensive legal framework for the prohibition, prevention, detection, prosecution and punishment of cybercrimes in Nigeria;*

*(b) enhance cybersecurity and the protection of computer systems and networks, electronic communications; data and computer programs, Intellectual property and privacy rights.*

In order to get a firm, yet fair legislation that addresses the cybercrime challenge but does not compromise your rights, PIN is asking you to study the 20-page draft bill and make your own inputs and recommendations to info\[at\]cybersecurity.gov.ng and copy info\[at\]pinigeria.org
