Nigeria’s National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), technology company Meta and the Federal Ministry of Youth Development launched a youth online safety campaign in Abuja on June 25, 2026.
The launch at the Youth Safety Summit also introduced My Digital World 2.0, an initiative intended to strengthen digital literacy and responsible internet use among young Nigerians.
Okay News reports that the summit brought together officials, educators, civil society organisations and technology specialists to discuss online protection, according to contemporaneous reporting by Voice of Nigeria and Premium Times.
Ahmed Tambuwal, NITDA’s acting director of digital literacy and capacity building, represented the agency’s director-general, Kashifu Inuwa.
Inuwa said teaching people to use digital tools should include awareness of online risks and safe behaviour. He said cooperation with Meta would help incorporate safety education into schools and other learning institutions.
Discussions covered cyberbullying, privacy, wellbeing and the responsibilities of parents, educators, public agencies and technology companies.
The accounts described the launch of education and awareness initiatives. They did not establish how many young people had completed the programmes at that stage.
