The GDPR was adopted on the 14th of April 2016 and became enforceable on the 25th of May 2018. In our country, the Nigeria Data Privacy Regulation (NDPR) came into effect on 25th April 2019. It is a piece of legislation applicable to Citizens both at home and abroad, and also to companies that collect, store or process Nigeria Citizen’s Data locally or internationally. This Regulation has dire consequences for organizations in Nigeria and across the globe.
Thus, organizations must have an understanding of the Regulations, the expectations as well as penalties for default. In light of the above, NECA is organizing a one-day Workshop on the Nigeria Data Privacy Regulation, the Safety of Data, and Implications for Businesses.
