| dc.description.abstract | Information and communication technology systems and computer networks are regarded as basic essential utilities which boon people’s life. Sadly, the country's image has also suffered as we tend to lose global trust and integrity which is as a result of the illicit activities by some Nigerians, who have now turned cyberspace into an arena for committing criminal activities known as cybercrime. Thus, the paper examines the nexus between cybercrime and Nigeria’s external image. To achieve the central objective of the paper, cross-sectional survey was used to generate data in the study; purposive sampling was used to select the eligible respondents. Chi-square was used to test the hypothesis formulated on cybercrime and Nigeria’s external image. The paper discovers that cybercrime poses serious threat to the country’s external image and concludes with recommendations for combating cybercrime, thereby addressing the country's sullied international image. | en_US |
