Man Breaks down What 0.5% Cybersecurity New Directive Means for Nigerians
Lamenting on X, @OurFavOnlineDoc described it as mass financial stifling. He went on to break down what it meant for Nigerians.
“What the new levy means is if you do 1million naira transfer, the bank will charge you an extra 5,000 naira to be sent to the NSA office for “cybersecurity”. “And if you send 2million, bank will charge you extra 10,000 naira. “It’s crazy at this point. “This is mass financial strangu.lation.”
