  Nigeria has established a legal framework for treating telecommunications infrastructure as Critical National Information Infrastructure, but the growing scale of the sector has exposed the need to move from designation to full operational protection. The country recorded 195.1 million active telephone subscribers as of July 2026, according to official Nigerian Communications Commission statistics. In June 2024, President Bola Tinubu gazetted the Designation and Protection of Critical National Information Infrastructure Order 2024. The Order designated telecommunications towers, base stations, fibre optic cables, data centres, submarine cables and internet landing points as critical infrastructure and prescribed criminal penalties for interference. Two years after the Order, however, important components of its implementation remain outstanding. The Critical National Information Infrastructure Protection Plan mandated by the Order has yet to be published, while the Trusted Inform...

  The rapid adoption of AI has brought a new tech dilemma into the spotlight. The data centers that power everyday AI use are running into a thermal wall that traditional air cooling can no longer service. Without top-tier cooling systems in place, performance and stability suffer.  In response, industry leaders, such as Nvidia, Google, and Oracle, have transitioned away from air cooling to sophisticated liquid-cooling architectures as the new fundamental requirement.  The industry-wide takeaway is clear. Performance today isn’t limited by power; it’s limited by heat. In less than two decades, smartphones have evolved into pocket-sized computers capable of console-level gaming, AI processing, and sustained high-performance workloads. That phenomenal leap in pint-sized computing power comes with the same fundamental cooling constraint as large-scale data centers.  The new challenge is keeping handheld devices cool under pressure while maintaining performance. Now that...

  Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Lawal Pedro, SAN, has explained the rationale behind the proposed amendment to the Magistrates Law of Lagos State, saying the legislation is intended to address an unintended imbalance in career progression within the state’s justice sector. Pedro, in a statement issued on Monday, said the proposed amendment, which seeks to increase the retirement age of Magistrates and Law Officers, is not an Executive Bill sponsored by his office but a Private Member’s Bill currently before the Lagos State House of Assembly. He said the bill was considered to have reasonable justification in the interest of the state, particularly in strengthening and sustaining the justice sector. According to him, the position of the Ministry of Justice is based on the long-standing policy of harmonising the conditions of service of Law Officers with those of Magistrates in Lagos State, a policy which has been in operation since 1997 following a gover...
