The Federal Government of Nigeria suspends enforcement of new regulations governing internet use, digital platforms, and online intermediaries, pending further policy work. Sources report that the suspension is intended to maintain the existing regulatory approach while authorities continue developing a harmonised national policy and governance framework for the digital economy. The move pauses the application of the new rules rather than withdrawing them, according to the accounts. Officials involved in communications and related regulatory activities indicate the suspension is part of a broader effort to align regulations across sectors and levels of governance. The coverage also notes that the government is working toward a unified framework that can guide how digital economy activities are regulated going forward. Until that harmonised framework is finalised, the regulatory status quo remains in place. The suspension affects how the new internet and digital platform requirements would be implemented, but it does not, in the reporting, specify a new enforcement date.
