The UUBO Data Protection Team is pleased to share with you that
the Data Protection Bill has now been signed into law by President
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The Data
Protection Team participated in the bill review process, and
provided insightful comments prior to its enactment.
We are particularly pleased that with the advent of a
substantive Data Protection legislation in Nigeria, the necessary
statutory backing to the Nigeria Data Protection Bureau, which was
established in February 2022 to regulate data protection matters in
Nigeria, has now been provided. With the promulgation of the Act,
we have great expectations that the privacy and data protection
sector in Nigeria will be further strengthened.
We will be sharing a review of the new Act after obtaining the
gazetted version from the government press.
