The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has announced plans to establish a Cybercrime Response Academy aimed at rehabilitating convicted Nigerian cybercriminals by equipping them with productive digital skills—and supporting them with monthly allowances during their reintegration process.
The EFCC Chairman, Ola Olukoyede, disclosed this at the National Cybersecurity Conference held in Abuja on Wednesday.
According to him, the proposed 500-capacity centre, which is expected to grow to accommodate up to 2,500 people, will redirect the tech skills of convicted Nigerian fraudsters toward legitimate sectors of the digital economy.
