The National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) and TikTok have joined forces to promote online safety and digital well-being in Nigeria. The partnership, under NITDA’s “Safer Together” initiative, aims to educate and empower Nigerians to navigate the digital landscape responsibly.
As Nigeria continues to embrace technological advancements, the need for robust online safety measures has become increasingly important. The rapid growth of digital platforms, including TikTok, has brought both opportunities and challenges.
To address these challenges, NITDA and TikTok are collaborating to:
- Promote digital literacy: Educate Nigerians about online safety best practices, including password security, privacy settings, and responsible content sharing.
- Combat cyberbullying and online harassment: Raise awareness about the negative impact of cyberbullying and provide resources for victims.
- Protect children online: Educate parents and guardians on how to monitor their children’s online activities and set appropriate screen time limits.
- Counter misinformation and disinformation: Promote critical thinking skills and fact-checking techniques to combat the spread of false information.
By working together, NITDA and TikTok aim to create a safer online environment for all Nigerians, especially the youth. This partnership underscores the importance of collaboration between government agencies, technology companies, and civil society organizations to address the challenges of the digital age.
