Abstract
There are universally accepted principles that govern the protection of data and personal information. The need for observance of these principles is highlighted by the upsurge of modern technologies which have invariably disrupted the mode of communication, implicated the nature and relevance of information, as well as reinforced the need to safeguard the right to privacy in an era of invasive innovations. It is imperative to identify some of the basic principles of data protection that have been recognised under and embedded in Nigerian laws. In spite of the absence of a subject-specific Act dealing with the protection of privacy and personal information in Nigeria, the Nigerian legal terrain is replete with laws, guidelines and regulations carefully crafted for the protection of personal information and general privacy. In this work, I take a look at the basic principles of Nigerian Data Protection Law.
