On 9 October 2025, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) opened a consultation on the Draft Internet Code of Practice (as amended) until 31 October 2025. The draft amends the Internet Code of Practice of 2019.

This channel will serve as the primary point of contact for addressing harmful content, disinformation, fraudulent activities, and other unlawful content.
