NiRA, the Nigeria Internet Registration Association, is taking steps to make .ng domain names more affordable and accessible for small and medium-sized businesses, aiming to encourage digital identity adoption among Nigerian businesses. NiRA President, Adesola Akinsanya, revealed initiatives such as discounted bundle packages offering .com.ng domains with web hosting and other business tools, as well as SME domain vouchers provided by participating registrars with wholesale subsidies from NiRA.
The association is also considering measures to address domain squatting and a Brand or Trademark Notification Service to strengthen protection for registered brands. Despite its benefits, the .ng domain name has faced slow adoption due to many web developers preferring the global .com domain.
