Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The National Commissioner of Nigeria Data Protection Bureau, Dr Vincent Olatunji has said it is unnecessary for the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, to request the social media handles of bank customers\u2019 data.<\/p>\n

Olatunji disclosed this on Monday during an interview on Channels Television monitored by DAILY POST.<\/p>\n

Recall that the CBN mandated banks to obtain customers\u2019 social media handles in its latest Due Diligence Regulations 2023 report.<\/p>\n

Olatunji noted that the newly signed Data Protection Act by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is to protect the privacy rights of all Nigerians.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole idea of data protection law is to protect all the rights, freedom and interest of Nigerians who are data subjects.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have written a letter to the Central Bank of Nigeria concerning the new regulation mandating banks to collect customers\u2019 social media handles for identification.<\/p>\n

\u201cCollecting citizens\u2019 social media handles is not necessary.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf that will happen under public interest, yes, there are some guidelines they must follow.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere should be a way of informing banks\u2019 customers on the reason for data collection.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will find out why the regulations came up; we will let them know the implications of the law. According to global best practices, you don\u2019t collect more data than you need; we are going to take CBN up on this\u201d, he stated.<\/p>\n

On June 14, Tinubu signed the Data Protection Act to provide a legal framework for protecting individuals\u2019 personal information.<\/p>\n
