Wednesday, January 8, 2025 - The National Bureau of Statistics website is still shut nearly three weeks after it was hacked, LIB can confirm.
A check by LIB on Tuesday, January 7, 2025 showed that the website is
still deactivated meaning that the December inflation report might not be
released next week, January 15, 2025.
On December 18, 2024, NBS confirmed that its official website was
hacked.
The agency had promised to recover the website, which served as
Nigeria’s home of statistics and information.
The hacking incident came after an NBS Experience and Security
Perception Survey, which showed that Nigerians paid an estimated N2.3 trillion
as ransom in 12 months and that 65 percent of households had been affected by
kidnapping incidents.
