Nigeria will on Saturday, January 28, 2023, join the international community to observe Global Data Privacy Day 2023. It is a Day that has been set aside to create awareness of fundamental rights and freedoms relating to the privacy of citizens in the data processing ecosystem.
In line with the overarching global objective of awareness on data privacy, the Nigeria Data Protection Bureau (NDPB), will be organizing a National Privacy Week, which is a week of intensive focus on awareness creation in the area of data subjects’ rights, capacity building on data governance, data breach remediation among others.
The Head of Legal Enforcement and Regulations, Babatunde Bamigboye Esq., in a statement, said the Honourable Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, will flag-off the National Privacy Week with a press conference on the Global Data Privacy Day.
National Privacy Week also coincides with the one-year anniversary of the establishment of the Bureau.
