Book excerpt: The internet has transformed the world as we know it. It has permeated virtually all aspect of human actions. It has made it easier to communicate, network, share contents and close transactions globally. The legal system is not left out, as the law must now take into consideration online activities which have real-world consequences. The Nigerian Internet Law is a ground-breaking work, exploring what is mostly uncharted territory in the Nigerian legal system. It provides a legal perspective on internet activities based on laws, regulations, judicial decisions, and global development.This book considers the history of the internet, its usage and penetration in Nigeria. It examines internet-related issues such as; cyberattacks, fraud, bullying, stalking, squatting, racism, terrorism, electronic signature, identity theft, data protection, net neutrality, and social media. It contains a comprehensive discussion on civil and criminal liabilities for online activities.Besides, it captures the role of key government personnel and agencies such as; the Attorney General of the Federation, Office of the National Security Adviser, Central Bank of Nigeria, National Information Technology Development Agency, and Nigerian Communications Commission in ensuring cybersecurity.This book elaborates on intellectual property viz-a-viz the protection of internet and software elements. For investors, it provides a guide to investing in eCommerce, FinTech and internet services in Nigeria.REVIEWSThis is a very important project. The book should be a very valuable resource for lawyers, policymakers, internet investors and entrepreneurs - Professor James Dempsey, Executive Director, Berkeley Center for Law & Technology, UC Berkeley School of Law. There is something in this book for everyone. It is well written, detailed, easy to understand, adequately organised, and immensely practical. I congratulate Akinkunmi on this giant stride - Adédèjì Ọlọ́wẹ̀, CEO, Trium Networks LimitedThe Nigerian Internet Law couldn't have been written at a better time. At a time where the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is aggressively prosecuting several internet scams perpetrated by Nigerians including Business Email Compromise (BEC) and romance scams, it is of great benefit to have a Nigerian legal resource that can be referenced. The book sheds light on Nigeria's position on cybercrimes, and an opportunity to question if our laws regulating internet scams are sufficient, or what we need is a more diligent prosecution and execution of the extant laws to address the rise in internet scams. Akinkunmi has written the book needed for the times we live in - Odunoluwa Longe, Co-founder, The Longe Practice. In Nigeria, addressing legal and practical issues in a largely uncharted, fastchanging and complicated subject as Internet law could be overwhelming. Hence, this outstanding effort by Akinkunmi Akinwunmi is a timely step in the right direction, bringing clarity to Nigeria's Internet law. I am glad that Akinkunmi has written this book, drawing on his vast knowledge and diverse experience. For many, I have no doubt that reading this book will be a great resource in understanding the rudiments of Internet Law in Nigeria and in proffering solutions to the many attendant challenges - Rotimi Ogunyemi, 1st Vice - Chairman, Nigerian Bar Association - Section on Business Law ICT Committee. In my opinion, this book is readily the most authoritative and instructive resource on internet law in Nigeria. It displays a powerful combination of the thoughtfulness, clarity, and scholarship in discussing the complexities of internet law. I am absolutely excited about the monumental contribution this book will make to legal education and the body of knowledge in Nigeria. This invaluable resource should have a place of honour in every library - Dayo Ogunyemi, Fellow, Canadian Institute of Resources Law.

Download or read book Telecommunications Law and Regulation in Nigeria written by Uchenna Jerome Orji and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-19 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nigerian telecommunications industry has continued to grow in a phenomenal manner following market liberalization reforms that commenced in the 1990s. As of 2017, the telecommunications industry was one of the fastest-growing economic sectors in Nigeria and the fourth largest contributor to the country’s Gross Domestic Product. The telecommunications industry, however, remains a highly technical and naturally dynamic industry that has not been a usual area for legal research in developing countries such as Nigeria. This book bridges that gap in knowledge by providing an analysis of the legal and policy instruments that regulate the industry. It comprises eleven chapters that discuss the historical evolution of telecommunications and its regulation; the development of the Nigerian telecommunications industry from 1886 to 2017; the legal basis for the regulation of the industry; the licensing and duties of service providers; the regulation of network infrastructure; the protection of consumers; the regulation of competition, interconnection, universal access, and environmental protection; and the resolution of industry disputes. This book will be useful to policy makers, legislators, regulators, lawyers, law students, investors, operators, and consumers, as well as any person interested in the Nigerian telecommunications industry.

This book was released on 2022-11-21 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Law - Data protection, grade: 71.0, , course: Digital Law, language: English, abstract: This study examines the stand point of Nigerian criminal law on Information and Communications Technology (ICT), the jurisprudence of an emerging E-law, the Impact of Information Technology on court process and how ICT has changed the face of crime. It further appraises selected concepts associated with ICT in contemporary issues as they relate. This study shall rely on both primary and secondary sources of information. The primary sources include the Evidence Act 2011, The Economic Financial Crimes Commission Act, Criminal Code 2004, Cybercrimes Act 2015 and International Conventions. The secondary source includes textbooks, journals, articles, opinions of legal luminaries and the internet. The ICT revolution has brought along Computer Crimes (cyber-crimes) which poses a serious challenge to the Nigerian Judiciary. Issues of Criminal Trespass into another computer, theft of computer data, the use of internet to commit or aid in the commission of fraud could hardly be established through the conventional standards of evidence in the Nigeria criminal system. Most statutes both substantive and subsidiary are not ICT proactive. In fact, some laws and rules of procedure run counter to ICT regime. These have to be reviewed before electronic and computer-generated evidence can be admissible in our courts13. Commercial transactions that are electronically conducted will be difficult to establish under the Evidence Act because of non-compliance with some provisions of the Act. For instance, it would not be possible under the Act to prove PIN number as representing signatures in a transaction that was conducted electronically. Increased inflow of foreign investors and development partners whose systems are wholly ICT based would compel the Nigerian Courts to embrace IT, otherwise confidence of these investors and partners may be eroded. Provision and maintenance of ICT infrastructure and equipment is capital intensive. The Nigerian Judiciary, particularly in the states, lack the resources to undertake the venture. Added to this is the problem of our maintenance culture, erratic power supply and poor capacity building.

Download or read book Cybersecurity in Nigeria written by Aamo Iorliam and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-15 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the use of digital surveillance for detecting, investigating and interpreting fraud associated with critical cyberinfrastructures in Nigeria, as it is well known that the country’s cyberspace and cyberinfrastructures are very porous, leaving too much room for cyber-attackers to freely operate. In 2017, there were 3,500 successful cyber-attacks on Nigerian cyberspace, which led to the country losing an estimated 450 million dollars. These cybercrimes are hampering Nigeria’s digital economy, and also help to explain why many Nigerians remain skeptical about Internet marketing and online transactions. If sensitive conversations using digital devices are not well monitored, Nigeria will be vulnerable to cyber-warfare, and its digital economy, military intelligence, and related sensitive industries will also suffer. The Nigerian Army Cyber Warfare Command was established in 2018 in order to combat terrorism, banditry, and other attacks by criminal groups in Nigeria. However, there remains an urgent need to produce digital surveillance software to help law enforcement agencies in Nigeria to detect and prevent these digitally facilitated crimes. The monitoring of Nigeria’s cyberspace and cyberinfrastructure has become imperative, given that the rate of criminal activities using technology has increased tremendously. In this regard, digital surveillance includes both passive forensic investigations (where an attack has already occurred) and active forensic investigations (real-time investigations that track attackers). In addition to reviewing the latest mobile device forensics, this book covers natural laws (Benford’s Law and Zipf’s Law) for network traffic analysis, mobile forensic tools, and digital surveillance software (e.g., A-BOT). It offers valuable insights into how digital surveillance software can be used to detect and prevent digitally facilitated crimes in Nigeria, and highlights the benefits of adopting digital surveillance software in Nigeria and other countries facing the same issues.

Download or read book Network Neutrality Law and Access to Broadband Services in Nigeria written by Chukwuyere Ebere Izuogu and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2010, Nigeria; the International Internet Connectivity (ICC) is currently dominated by three major players providing bandwidth access on a wholesale and retail basis to the Nigerian end users. These players are the state owned Nigerian Telecommunications Limited (NITEL) providing access via the SAT-1 submarine cable, Glo through the GLO-1 submarine cable and MainOne Cable company via the MainOne submarine cable, of these cables, only the GLO-1 and MainOne submarine cables have broadband (or high speed) internet access capability. In recent times, global policy issues on broadband internet access have focused on network neutrality, that is whether broadband network operators should be allowed to favor (or as is emotionally argued; discriminate) one data traffic over another one that passes through its network. This is the main thrust of this paper. Arguments in support of network neutrality have tended to lean towards the belief that discriminating data traffic is anti-consumer and may be capable having an anti-competitive effect under certain conditions. With the current expansion of internet services in Nigeria and particularly the current investment in broadband infrastructure, the need arises to revisit the issue of network neutrality in the Nigerian context. In considering the question of network neutrality, guidance is sought from the Nigeria Communications Act 2003 (NCA) and the relevant regulations made under the Act.

Download or read book International Telecommunications Law and Policy written by Uchenna Jerome Orji and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-18 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the revolution in modern telecommunications that followed the invention of the telegraph, telecommunication networks have provided channels for the fast delivery of communications across national borders. This transnational nature of telecommunication networks have led to the establishment of international regulatory regimes on the subject. On the other hand, developing countries consider regional economic integration as a major strategy for promoting trade and development, telecommunications have been seen within this context as a strategic tool for facilitating regional economic integration. This has also led to the establishment of regional telecommunication regulatory regimes that aim to promote regional integration and regulatory harmonization. This book discusses telecommunication regimes established by international and regional organizations such as the United Nations, the International Telecommunication Union, the World Trade Organization, the African Union, the Economic Community of West African States, and the Southern African Development Community, among a number of others. It will be relevant to policy makers, regulators, lawyers, law students, investors and telecommunication operators, as well as any person interested in international and African regional telecommunication regimes.
