The Nigerian Data Protection Commission (NDPC) has launched an awareness initiative aimed at educating Nigerians on their data privacy rights. This effort aims to ensure that the personal information of individuals collected by organizations remains secure. Misuse of personal data can lead to potential risks, including financial loss, identity theft and, in rare cases, serious injury.

The NDPC requires organizations that collect and process the personal information of Nigerians for any purpose to register with the Nigerian Data Protection Commission (NDPC) and implement measures to protect the personal information of Nigerians.

According to the Nigerian Data Protection Act, 2023, the processing of personal data without proper registration is illegal. Failure to comply with registration requirements is a criminal offense punishable by law.

For more information and guidance on the registration process, please visit the NDPC website at www.ndpc.gov.ng or direct inquiries to (email protected).
