Minister of information and national orientation, Mohammed Idris, confirmed this to State House correspondents yesterday after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

According to him, the levy was undergoing review and has been put on hold for now.
He said, “The cybersecurity levy has been suspended. It is undergoing review. It had been put on hold for now.’’

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had issued a directive to all banks and financial institutions, mandating the implementation of a cybersecurity levy on all electronic banking transactions.
This new levy, set at 0.5 percent of the value of every electronic transaction, was introduced in response to the escalating concerns over cyber threats and follows the guidelines of the recently enacted Cybercrime Prohibition, Prevention, etc. (Amendment) Act 2024.

According to the CBN, the measure was crucial for enhancing the security framework of financial operations across the country.
However, the levy drew criticism from businesses and the public over fears it could worsen the already dire economic situation.
