He said: “These are young people that would have become cyber traitors themselves, but they are putting their skills to good use; working to protect the financial ecosystem and Nigeria’s critical digital infrastructure. We’re confident that we’re going to do very well in the future.
“We’re confident that cybercrime will soon become a thing of the past in Nigeria because we’ll have people that’ll be protecting the cyber space.”
