Understanding the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023: Obligations of Digital Platforms and Businesses

The objective of this article is to provide a general understanding of the NDPA, highlighting its provisions from five perspectives, namely constitutional, legal & regulatory, administrative,  technical/organizational, and economic perspectives. I also  point out the NDPA’s relationship with previous and other similar legislation. Finally, I outline obligations digital platforms and businesses must comply with in order to safely do business in Nigeria’s growing digital economy.
