Adedeji Dhikrullahi Olajide has called for a motion of urgent public importance, seeking to safeguard Nigeria’s sensitive information and ensure national security, economic development, and citizens’ well-being by designating the country’s database as critical national infrastructure.

Olajide Odidiomo, a ranking member of the 10th National assembly, representing Ibadan North west/Ibadan South west federal constituency of Oyo state, said the motion when presented before the house and unanimously adopted will make provisions for the designation of Nigeria’s database as a critical national infrastructure, recognize its significance to national security, economic development, and citizen’s well-being.
Hon. Adedeji Olajide Odidiomo emphasized the vulnerability of the database to cyber-attacks, data breaches, and other unforeseen circumstances, highlighting the need for enhanced security measures and necessary support.
