Data Privacy & Protection Law
Helping Nigerian Businesses Achieve and Maintain NDPA Compliance
Overview
The Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 fundamentally changed the legal landscape for every business that collects, processes, or stores personal data in Nigeria. With the Nigeria Data Protection Commission actively enforcing compliance obligations and issuing significant penalties for violations, data privacy is no longer a back-office concern — it is a board-level priority.
At Lawberon Legals & Co., our Data Privacy & Protection practice helps businesses understand their obligations under the NDPA 2023, implement compliant data governance frameworks, and respond effectively to data breaches and regulatory investigations — protecting both their customers and their business reputation.
