A lot of gadgets we use today are interconnected, which means the data we are producing daily must be protected and the people producing it must be enlightened, but I think most important is the role of companies. As we build new digital products, we must ensure those products collect data and process the data in a way that does not compromise people\u2019s privacy because it is extremely important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He urged relevant institutions to engage in an awareness campaign on the importance of data protection.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a need to consider behavioural change and the implication of that is that both government and civil society organisations, the media must participate in the process of enlightening the citizens on data privacy,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>In his welcome address, the National Commissioner of the NDPC, Vincent Olatunji, said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the area of complaints and investigations, we have received over 1, 000 complaints and after thorough reviews, 50 have been verified and investigations are currently ongoing on 17 major cases covering several sectors such as finance, technology, education, consulting, government, Logistics and gaming, among others. Through remedial actions for completed cases, we have generated over N400 million in revenue for government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking further, he said: \u201cIn addition, to foster compliance, we have increased the number of Data Protection Compliance Organisations from 103 to 163. As a result of this, annual audit filings have increased to over 2000 per annum, while the cumulative revenue in the sector is estimated at 6.2 billion and approximately 10,100 jobs have been created so far.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to him: \u201cWe must ensure that dark web barons and criminal exploiters of personal data do not make Nigeria a haven\u2014for want of cooperation among bona fide data owners and data users. Failure to obey the law will attract penalties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He warned that in the future, \u201cno organisation in the public and private sectors will be allowed to treat Nigerians as second-class citizens when it comes to respect for the data privacy of citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cIt is, thus, in our collective interest to work together to secure Nigeria\u2019s present and future on the frontiers of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
