As Nigeria experiences rapid digital growth, its cybersecurity challenges continue to escalate, driven by an expanding internet user base and the increasing sophistication of cyber threats targeting organisations with human vulnerabilities being a key entry point. Traditional cybersecurity awareness programs have struggled to keep pace with evolving threats, necessitating the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven strategies to enhance human cybersecurity awareness. This paper explores AI-driven strategies for enhancing human cybersecurity awareness in Nigeria, focusing on the unique socio-economic and cultural challenges that influence the effectiveness of traditional awareness programs. AI offers transformative solutions by enabling personalised training, real-time threat detection, and predictive analytics, making it a critical tool for addressing Nigeria's evolving cyber threat landscape. However, barriers such as inadequate infrastructure, limited technical expertise, and data limitations hinder the full adoption of AI in cybersecurity. The paper concludes with recommendations for implementing AI-driven cybersecurity awareness programs tailored to Nigeria’s needs, including enhanced collaboration between government, educational institutions, and the private sector to foster a cybersecurity culture. By leveraging AI, Nigeria can significantly bolster its defences, ensuring a secure digital future for its growing online population.
