This study examines the current state of the Nigerian Government’s child online protection strategies, and it evaluates their implementation and effectiveness in protecting children in this digital age using a comprehensive evaluation framework. It also highlights the importance of evaluating online child protection in the context of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The finding reveals the strength and weaknesses of the existing approach by the government and the challenges faced by the government in implementing effective strategies. Recommendations are provided to improve the current strategy adopted by the Nigerian Government, such as enhancing a strong policy framework, improving international cooperation, investing in education and awareness, public-private partnership and regular evaluation and adaptation. The study concludes by emphasising the importance of continuous assessment by the government to address the evolving threat landscape ton Child Online Protection and calls for a more comprehensive multidimensional approach involving the government, civil society organisations, and private companies to create a safer digital world for children.
