The Office of the Special Adviser on Youth and Entrepreneurship, in collaboration with American Space Bauchi, has successfully completed the 7th week of its flagship 8-Week Entrepreneurship and Digital Skills Training program.
This week’s session was led by Ms. Mustapha, Director of Cybersecurity at NITDA Abuja, who delivered a practical and interactive training on online safety, digital responsibility, and cybersecurity essentials. She emphasized the importance of building a credible online presence and protecting personal information.
Participants were taught how to identify and avoid internet scams, safely use public WiFi, and report cases of online fraud through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). “Cybersecurity is not just about technology, it’s about awareness and taking proactive steps to stay safe online,” Ms. Mustapha said.
Over 80 participants attended the session, including an interpreter for the deaf. Their active engagement and questions highlighted the growing need for digital security education among young entrepreneurs in Bauchi.
