According to the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Capture the Flag (CTF) competition, organised by ECOWAS and hosted by Nigeria, is in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy and the agency.

While advising Nigerians to register for the competition, NITDA said the programme offers an excellent opportunity for beginners and seasoned professionals to immerse themselves into the world of cybersecurity, learn new skills, and network with fellow enthusiasts.

Unlike other hackathons in the tech space, ECOWAS did not specify the rewards for the participants in the regional competition.

“All talented individuals and teams are invited to join this exhilarating competition. Demonstrate your expertise, collaborate with peers, and push the boundaries of cybersecurity.
