The Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) is championing an awareness initiative in a bid to educate Nigerians about their data privacy rights. This is to ensure that your private information collected by organizations is not compromised. Financial loss, Identity theft, loss of body parts and death in extreme cases, can be consequences of misuse of personal information.
The NDPC has mandated organizations that collect and process personal information of Nigerians for any purpose are to register with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) and put in place measures to safeguard the personal information of Nigerians.
Under the Nigeria Data Protection Act, 2023, it is illegal to process personal data without proper registration. Failure to comply with registration requirements constitutes an offense punishable by law.
For further information and guidance on the registration process, please visit the NDPC website at www.ndpc.gov.ng or direct inquiries to registration@ndpc.gov.ng
