Election Interference: The Foreign Cyber Threat

In today’s interconnected world, foreign state and non-state actors may try to manipulate Nigeria’s elections using cyber tactics.

From fake news campaigns designed to sway voters, to hacking attempts that target electoral infrastructure, the threat is real and growing.

These attacks aim to:

– Distort public opinion

– Disrupt election systems

– Undermine trust in democracy

To protect Nigeria’s electoral integrity, we must:

– Strengthen our cybersecurity frameworks

– Monitor foreign digital interference

– Raise public awareness and digital literacy

Democracy must be defended, both at the ballot box and in cyberspace.
