The Ndukwe Kalu Foundation (NKF) has announced the much-anticipated 2025 edition of its flagship Child Online Safety Protection and Reporting of Abuse (COSPRA) Summit, themed “Empowering Digital Citizens: Building a Safer Online Generation.”
This groundbreaking summit, proudly sponsored by the Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA), will unite Nigeria’s leading voices in technology, education, and child protection to address one of the most urgent challenges of our time — creating a safer digital space for children and young people.
With key implementing partners and co-sponsors: including the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), Internet Society (ISOC), National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), and the Lagos State Education Board, COSPRA 2025 is set to spark a national movement toward responsible digital citizenship.
According to Ms. Erica Okibe, Executive Secretary of the Ndukwe Kalu Foundation: “COSPRA isn’t just another summit — it’s a clarion call to action. We are uniting institutions, parents, and digital stakeholders to empower our young people to thrive safely and responsibly in the online world.”
Now in its flagship phase, COSPRA has become a rallying point for government agencies, educators, innovators, and advocates working to combat online abuse, misinformation, and child exploitation. The 2025 edition will feature interactive panels, policy dialogues, youth innovation showcases, and a national pledge for child online safety and is scheduled to hold on the 20th of November, at the Afe Babalola Hall at the University of Lagos.
As Nigeria’s digital space continues to expand, COSPRA stands as a bold reminder that protecting children online is not optional — it’s essential.
