The NMCO partnered with DSS to enhance cybercrime security training for staff, focusing on the significance of the eMC+ system to safely manage online applications for Mineral Titles. Emphasis was placed on the importance of following security protocols to mitigate risks associated with cyber threats and improving overall agency transparency.

The Nigeria Mining Cadastre Office (NMCO) has teamed up with the Department of State Security (DSS) to enhance its staff’s skills in cybercrime security. Director General Engr Obadiah Nkom emphasised the urgency of this initiative due to the increasing necessity to secure NMCO’s cyberspace based on its activities and international engagements. He urged staff to follow the prescribed disciplinary training guidelines strictly.

Nkom highlighted the significance of NMCO’s transition to a web-based system via the launch of the electronic Mining Cadastre Plus (eMC+), which facilitates efficient application processing for Mineral Titles. He underscored the growing number of online applications since its launch in November 2022, stressing the need for users to remain vigilant against cyber threats.

The partnership between NMCO and DSS focuses on improving the agency’s cyber security measures, reflecting a broader trend of increasing awareness regarding digital threats in governmental operations. As more services move online, particularly in sensitive areas like mineral rights and titles, the risk of cyberattacks rises, necessitating improved security protocols and staff education.

The NMCO’s collaboration with the DSS marks a crucial step towards enhancing cyber security within governmental operations related to mining. By focusing on staff training in cyber awareness and reinforcing ethical accountability, NMCO aims to safeguard its online systems and support transparency and efficiency in the mineral sector’s operations.
