Cyberspace presents significant opportunities that enhance communication, and boost business and socio-economic prosperity in Nigeria. While cyber criminals thrive to exploit any vulnerability for their gains, the Nigeria Government has taken some measures to safeguard its cyberspace. This study evaluates the efforts of the Nigeria Government in the coordination of cybersecurity in the country. It used secondary source methodology by reviewing previous and related research works including books, articles among others. The study found that Nigeria has established a national Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) and four active Sectoral Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTs). It also revealed that the Nigeria Government through the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) formulated the National Cybersecurity Policy and Strategy (NCPS). It was found that the establishment of the National Cybersecurity Coordination Centre (NCCC) would enhance the implementation of cybersecurity programs in Nigeria. Amongst others, the study recommended that the ONSA should facilitate the approval for the establishment of NCCC.
