The Nigerian Data Protection Act: what it actually asks of you

Ibukunoluwa Omonijo · June 8, 2026

The Nigerian Data Protection Act reshaped how organisations must handle personal data. Beyond the legal text, what matters is operational: lawful basis, data minimisation, retention limits, and the ability to honour data-subject rights.

Most organisations already hold more personal data than they can defend. The first move is an honest inventory. The second is a retention policy that actually deletes. The third is an audit trail that proves you did what you said.

We build these controls into the systems we ship — so compliance is a property of the architecture, not a quarterly scramble.
