Open Access Data Centres (OADC) Lagos has reiterated its support for the nation’s data protection and digital transformation agenda through its sponsorship and participation in the National Privacy Week Summit organised by the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC).
The summit brought together policymakers, regulators, technology providers and industry stakeholders to promote data privacy awareness, strengthen compliance with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) and advance discussions on data security, sovereignty and responsible data governance.
OADC Lagos said its involvement aligns with the Federal Government’s drive to encourage local data hosting and data domiciliation, which have become increasingly important for safeguarding sensitive information, improving regulatory oversight and strengthening trust in Nigeria’s digital economy.
