The Federal Governmenthas begun development of a curriculum on internet safety for primary andsecondary schools.

The development,according to the Nigerian Education Research and Development Council which partners the Public Private Development Centre for the project, wasborne out of government’s  desire to ensure safe and responsible use ofthe internet among young internet users, as they explore, maximize and utilizeall the benefits the internet offers.
