Education Sector Under Cyber Attack, Act Fast – JAMB Registrar To Buhari
Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, the Registrar of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has urged the government to act quickly to combat the threat of cyber attacks in the country’s education sector.
On Wednesday in Abuja, Oloyede announced this at a Multi-Stakeholders Sensitisation Workshop on the Implementation of Nigeria’s National Cybersecurity Strategy 2021.
According to him, the school industry has a lot of sensitive materials that fraudsters are interested in.
He expressed concern that many educational institutions had not taken efforts to protect their data against cyber threats, owing to a lack of understanding.
However, Oloyede urged all security services to work together in the battle against cybercrime.
“That is why we think it is time for all of us to realise the danger of not adequately protecting our cyberspace.
‘The education sector must rise now and collaborate with the security agencies because the threat is real,” he said.
