Background & Rationale

The Challenge
We Are Solving

Nigeria’s digital economy is growing at an unprecedented pace. With over 100 million internet users and a rapidly expanding fintech, healthtech, and edtech ecosystem, Nigerians are generating and sharing more personal data than ever before.

Yet public awareness of data rights remains critically low — leaving millions vulnerable to exploitation, breaches, and misuse. The Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA) sets clear rights for every Nigerian, but most people have never heard of them.

ProtectData is LawDigits’ nationwide response: a structured, evidence-based awareness programme that takes data rights out of boardrooms and into the spaces where Nigerians live, study, worship, and work.

📊

Low Awareness

Over 90% of Nigerians are unaware of their rights under the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA).

🏥

Unprotected Processing

Universities, hospitals, churches and mosques process sensitive personal data without understanding their obligations as data controllers.

⚠️

All Are Vulnerable

Data breaches, scams, and digital exploitation disproportionately affect young people, healthcare patients, and faith community members.

🤖

AI Without Accountability

AI systems are increasingly embedded in public services, loan approvals, and healthcare with little public discourse on ethical deployment.
