Abstract
The fact that the world is slowly becoming a digital community is no longer news. There has been an evolution from the traditional methods of operation to the digitized system and in a digital space, the most priced element in Data. The exceeding value of data in today's world cannot be overemphasized. The right to data privacy and protection is an internationally guaranteed right, which enjoys protection universally. Hence, governments around the world have implemented laws that would safeguard the rights of citizens and protect their privacy. Nigeria is not left out of this global development as there are enacted laws on Cyber-crimes, data privacy, and data protection. This paper seeks to examine the current position of data protection in Nigeria by reviewing the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation 2019, the General Data Protection Regulation ('GDPR'), and give reasons why Nigeria should be a signatory to the AU Convention on Data Protection and Security, Malabo Convention 2018.
