Corporate data has become one of the most valuable and vulnerable assets in today’s digital economy. Yet while Nigeria’s 2023 Data Protection Act and its 2025 Directive provide safeguards for personal data, they leave sensitive corporate information largely unprotected. This regulatory blind spot exposes businesses to cyber threats, costly breaches, reputational damage, and legal uncertainty.

In this publication, TEMPLARS Partner, Emmanuel Gbahabo, Managing Counsel, Oghomwen Akpaibor, and Associate, Uwemedimo Atakpo examine the legal and commercial risks posed by this gap and make the case for a reform. Drawing on global best practices from South Africa, France, and Germany, they call for a dedicated corporate data protection regime to secure Nigeria’s digital business future.
