The Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA) is planning new initiatives to reduce the cost of .ng domain registration and renewals for small and medium-sized enterprises. NiRA President Adesola Akinsanya stated that the association is exploring subsidized bundles and SME vouchers in partnership with bodies like SMEDAN and the Bank of Industry to boost local digital adoption. Additionally, NiRA is developing a brand notification service to alert trademark owners of potentially conflicting domain registrations to combat domain squatting and protect Nigerian brands online.
