The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, revealed on Thursday, that the Nigerian government had thwarted 66 attempts by Europeans to hack the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) virtual meeting.
Weekly cabinet meetings are usually held in the country on Wednesdays with some of the participants attending virtually.
Virtual FEC meeting was part of the protocol introduced to prevent the spread of Covid-19. The innovation was later amplified by the introduction of the National Policy on Virtual Engagements for Federal Public Institutions in October 2020.
