The roundtable was an interactive session, with the theme, "Cybercrime Bill and Nigerian Citizens", we ask particpants to study the two documents which are the two bills that seek to address cybercrime that is before the national assembly in Nigeria. There are plans for amendments so our duty is simply to look at both bills in the light of how it can solve the beastly problem of cybercrime and its possible impacts of the citizens, noting that some clauses may raise questions about the privacy of individuals, for example. Please note that while the "Computer Security and Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Bill 2005" is a wholly cybercrime bill, "The Information Technology Bill 2004" only touches on cybercrime in Part IV.
