In a recent statement, media personality and comedian Seyi Law has reacted to the cyber security levy imposed by the Nigerian government.
In a recent statement, he tackled President Tinubu over the outrageous increase. This move is allegedly in line with the provisions of the amended Cybercrime Act of 2024.
The directive detailed that, going forward, a particular amount would be deducted in a customer’s account as a cyber security levy. This amount is also 0.05% of the money being sent out.
In addition to this, Seyi Law expressed how he felt about it. He revealed that he hated the government’s inability to understand the citizens. He also further stated that it is unacceptable.
He tagged President Tinubu as he expressed that the poor should be allowed to breathe. He also questioned when the new minimum wage will be announced and implemented.
He further noted how it’s been one year since President Tinubu became president and still no distinct changes have been made.
“Ihe when government agencies don’t speak up to the understanding of the citizens and allow wrong narratives to fester before tackling it. Cybersecurity level, according to the act, is 0.005%, and different figures from 0.5% to 3% are being thrown around.
A 0.5% charge in the Nigeria of today is in itself too much punishment on Nigerians. Are we trying to discourage banking transactions again and encourage cash keeping? @cenbank should revisit this abeg.

Stamp duty is something, and now this. It is unacceptable.
@NGRPresident @officialABAT, let the poor breathe. When will the new minimum wage be announced and implemented? Some of your ministers need to look for another job. One year is here and we are counting.”
