Nigerian Communication Commission Orders Telecoms to Report Cyber Threats Within 4 Hours

**Nigeria’s NCC issues 4-hour reporting requirement for telecom cyberattacks:** The Nigerian Communications Commission released the Cyber Resilience Framework for Nigeria’s Communications Sector (CRF-NCS) requiring operators (e.g., MTN Nigeria, Airtel Nigeria, Globacom, T2 Mobile) to notify the regulator within four hours of detecting a cyberattack, provide updates every four hours through a dedicated portal, and comply with other obligations; the rule takes effect in February 2027 and aligns Nigeria with jurisdictions like China and Singapore while contrasting with more lenient U.S. reporting expectations.
