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.

“Be part of the talent pool driving the security of cyberspace for your country and West Africa as a whole,” ECOWAS stated on the hackathon’s website.

It added that the Cybersecurity Hackathon will foster a platform for young technology enthusiasts, enhancing the cyber workforce in the region.

“Member states are encouraged to participate and showcase their brightest minds in this competition,” it said.

Registration for the competition opened on July 18 and it is expected to close on August 5, 2024.

According to organisers, participants in the hackathon must be citizens of ECOWAS member countries, noting that travel tickets will only be provided for participants residing within the region.

It further said each team must consist of a minimum of three, and a maximum of four members and are encouraged to include at least one female participant.

ECOWAS also specified that participants must be between seventeen and thirty-five years of age.
