President Tinubu signs data protection bill into law
The Nigeria Data Protection Bill, 2023, has received President Bola Tinubu's signature as law.
A legal foundation for the preservation of personal data and the practice of data protection in Nigeria is provided by the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023.
This was said by Vincent Olatunji, national commissioner, Nigeria Data Protection Bureau (NDPB), at the SRAP validation workshop for the NDPD in Abuja.
On Tuesday, April 4, former president Muhammadu Buhari forwarded a letter containing the law to the Senate and House of Representatives for review and consideration.
“Now an Act, the new law establishes the Nigeria Data Protection Commission and replaces the NDPB established by former President Buhari in February 2022.â€
A National Commissioner who is in charge of overseeing the processing of personal data will serve as the Commission's chairman.
