The Department of State Service (DSS) Tuesday trained staff of Nigeria Mining Cadastre Office (NMCO) on cyber crime security.
MCO said the collaboration was it commitment to its online service delivery and curbing cyber crimes associated with the internet.
The Director General, NMCO, Obadiah Nkom charged MCO staff to adhere to “the Dos and Don’ts” of the DSS training, noting that cyber security is very crucial for personal and organisational protection.
Nkom in a statement issued by the agency’s Head of Press, Folasade Fatoke stressed the need for the training which was held at the Agency in Abuja
Nkom noted: “MCO’s system is web based after the launch of the electronic Mining Cadastre Plus (eMC+), it is expected that every user is cautious and careful on their interactions online.
He explained the importance of the agency’s system migration to online, which he said would promote the efficiency and transparency in processing the application for Mineral Title and boost investment in the mineral sector.
He added: “I believe you all know that our eMC+ has been online since it was launched in November, 2022 and we have been receiving a lot of online applications. As such we need to be very careful and be able to identify such tricks as we are being taught today.”
“Everybody is prone to attack and this training is part of our strategy in reforming the office and the need to develop security alertness. We must therefore be committed to ensuring zero tolerance on cybercrimes.”
