The House of Representatives on Thursday ordered the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to stop enforcing the cybercrime levy in accordance with the terms of the cybercrime Act.

This came after the PDP Rivers Minority Leader Kingsley Chinda’s urgently important proposal was adopted.

According to Chinda, the Cybercrime Act’s section 44 (2a) identified the following entities as required to pay the fees: stock exchanges, insurance firms, banks and other financial institutions, GSM and telecom businesses, and Internet providers.

The lawmaker explained that the circular from the CBN has raised apprehension across Nigeria, stressing that it has given the impression that the levy is to be paid by Nigerians in an era when they are still battling with an increase in the price of petroleum products, among others.

The House subsequently asked the apex bank to withdraw its earlier circular on implementing the levy immediately and issue another circular in line with the provisions of the Act.
