NITDA is hereby notifying the general public that the Agency has not advertised vacancies in any medium and has not contracted any third party to act on its behalf in that regard.
While our Computer Emergency Readiness and Response Team (CEERT) are working to bring the site down, we urge the general public to disregard such fake websites as they are false and misleading aim at defrauding innocent Nigerians.
As the Federal Government Agency responsible for regulating and developing national IT Policy in line with National Digital Economy Policy and Strategy, we are committed to fulfilling our mandate by securing Nigeria’s cyberspace by providing support in responding to cyber security threats/incidents in the country”.
