The National Commissioner/CEO of the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC), Dr Vincent Olatunji, delivered an Executive Regulatory Insight on “From Awareness to Accountability: Strengthening Data Protection Compliance in Nigeria’s Digital Economy” at the 15th West Africa

[Dr Vincent Olatunji @Volatunji1]

I was honoured to deliver an Executive Regulatory Insight on, “From Awareness to Accountability: Strengthening Data Protection Compliance in Nigeria’s Digital Economy,” at the 15th West Africa Convergence Conference (WACC) in Lagos.

I want to commend the organisers of WACC for their consistency in convening industry leaders, policymakers, regulators, and stakeholders to engage on issues that are critical to the growth and sustainability of Nigeria’s digital economy.

In my presentation, I highlighted the scale and impact of the digital economy, the growing importance of data protection and privacy, and the evolving data protection landscape in Nigeria. I emphasised that trust remains the foundation of a thriving digital ecosystem, and that building and sustaining this trust requires a collective commitment to data protection compliance and accountability.

I also shared some of the key initiatives of the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) aimed at deepening awareness and compliance, including the Digital Privacy Awareness Campaign (DPAC), the translation of the Nigeria Data Protection Act, 2023 (NDP Act) into Nigeria’s three major indigenous languages, and the issuance of the General Application and Implementation Directive (GAID) to provide practical guidance for implementation.

As we continue to strengthen Nigeria’s digital economy, it is imperative that data controllers and processors uphold their duty of care and embrace accountability as a core principle. Every stakeholder within the digital ecosystem has a responsibility to ensure compliance with the NDP Act.

Looking ahead, our focus remains on strengthening enforcement, deepening sectoral compliance, expanding capacity-building initiatives, and sustaining awareness on both the benefits of compliance and the consequences of non-compliance.

I am also pleased to share that the Nigeria Data Protection Commission was recognised among the 50 Most Influential Figures in Nigeria’s Digital Economy in the Institutional Recognition Category at the 2026 WACC. I received this award on behalf of the Commission from the National Chairman of the APC, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda.

This recognition reflects the collective efforts, dedication, and commitment of the entire NDPC team and our stakeholders towards building a trusted, secure, and privacy-respecting digital economy for Nigeria.

I had the pleasure of receiving a delegation from the Joint Revenue Board (JRB), led by its Executive Secretary, Mr Olusegun Adesokan, on a strategic working visit to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) headquarters in Abuja.

I want to commend the JRB for its proactive engagement with the Commission and its commitment to fostering a culture of data protection and privacy within Nigeria’s revenue ecosystem. As an institution established to strengthen coordination across revenue-generating agencies, the JRB plays a critical role in building public trust and confidence through responsible data governance.

Our discussions focused on strategic areas of collaboration, including capacity building through the Virtual Privacy Academy (VPA), induction training, certification programmes for Data Protection Officers (DPOs), the development of sector-specific guidelines, and the establishment of a joint technical working group.

Given the significant volume of personal data processed across the revenue sector, compliance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act, 2023 (NDP Act) remains essential. Data protection is a cross-cutting imperative that requires strong partnerships across sectors to ensure accountability, transparency, and trust.

I am pleased to affirm the Commission’s commitment to this partnership and approved the JRB’s requests, including the provision of 100 VPA vouchers, induction training, certification programmes, and the establishment of a joint technical working group to drive the implementation of our shared objectives.

Together, we will continue to strengthen data protection practices across Nigeria’s revenue ecosystem and advance a trusted digital economy for all.

I was pleased to receive the management team of Stanbic IBTC Bank, led by its Chief Executive Officer, Mr Wole Adeniyi, on a strategic working visit to the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) headquarters in Abuja.

I want to commend Stanbic IBTC for its commitment to strengthening data protection and privacy practices within Nigeria’s financial sector. Their interest in leveraging the Virtual Privacy Academy (VPA) for staff capacity building reflects a proactive approach to fostering a culture of privacy and accountability.

As data controllers and processors of major importance, organisations in the financial sector play a critical role in safeguarding the personal data of Nigerians. With banking and financial services increasingly driven by digital innovation, data protection has become a key enabler of trust, growth and sustainable development.

At the NDPC, we remain committed to maintaining a balance between effective regulation and economic growth. Our objective is not to hinder innovation but to guide it in ways that protect citizens, promote responsible data governance and support Nigeria’s digital economy in line with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

I appreciate the constructive engagement with Stanbic IBTC Bank and look forward to continued collaboration as we work together to strengthen Nigeria’s data protection ecosystem and deepen privacy awareness across sectors.
