Data privacy and protection are assuming a position
of great importance globally due to the indispensable nature of
personal data to individuals, organizations, entities,
corporations, etc in today's world. This has birthed data
privacy and protection legislations globally to regulate the
handling of personal data of individuals and entities alike.
Nigeria is not left alone in this trend as the National Information
Technology Development Agency (NITDA) introduced the Nigeria Data
Protection Regulation (NDPR) in January 2019 to
regulate the handling and processing of personal data of natural
persons in Nigeria.
Despite the laudable provisions and innovations of the NDPR, it
is not without some shortcomings, however this is not the subject
matter of this piece. Nevertheless, the NDPR guaranteed certain
rights to data subjects capable of being enforced against data
controllers or the regulators in cases of violation of such
rights.
