PART SEVEN PRINCIPLES ON NATIONAL CRITICAL INFORMATION INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION 7.1 Introduction:   i. It is the cardinal objective of this National Cybersecurity Policy to complement the efforts of the Federal Government of Nigeria on the existing plans and documents relating to safeguarding and protection of the nation’s Critical Information Infrastructure.     ii. The legislation on cybercrime and cybersecurity thus states that The President may on the recommendation of the National Security Adviser, by Order published in the Federal Gazette, designate certain computer systems, and/or networks, whether physical or virtual, and/or the computer programs, computer data and/or traffic data vital to this country that the incapacity or destruction of or interference with such system and assets would have a debilitating impact on security, national or economic security, national public health and safety, or any combination of those matters as constituting Critical National Information Infrastructure.   iii. This policy recognizes that Nigeria’s well-being depends largely on a secure and resilient critical national information infrastructure—the systems, assets and networks that underpin our national life.   iv. Therefore, this policy details how the private sector will work with government in the identification and protection of critical infrastructure in order to manage risks and achieve resilience to national critical information infrastructure.
