The Nigeria chapter was authored by our Telecommunications, Media & Technology and Data Protection Partner, Jumoke Lambo, Senior Associate, Chisom Okolie, and Associates, Opeyemi Adeshina and Samuel Ngwu.
As Nigeria’s data protection regime continues to evolve, this year’s chapter provides practical insights into the country’s legal and regulatory framework under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA) and the General Application and Implementation Directive 2025 (GAID).
The publication examines key issues affecting organisations operating in Nigeria, including the roles and responsibilities of data controllers and processors, registration and compliance obligations, cross-border data transfers, data subject rights, enforcement, and other developments shaping Nigeria’s data protection landscape.
Whether you are establishing a data governance framework, managing cross-border data flows or responding to evolving regulatory requirements, the guide provides a practical overview of the issues organisations should consider when navigating Nigeria’s data protection regime.
