Scope of Consent in Data Collection and Processing under the Nigerian Laws
0Kingsley Ibe and Omotosho Ibrahim, in their article Scope of Consent in Data Collection and Processing under the Nigerian Laws provide an exposition to the consent model in the various data privacy/protection laws and regulation in force in Nigeria. Some of the laws which jettison the consent model may be justified under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended). In other cases were the consent model is adopted, data subjects may still be at risk because many people, out of illiteracy, desperation, sheer laziness or other factors, consent to the collection and processing of their personal data without given due thought to its implications. Ibe and Ibrahim expose the inconsistencies in the adoption of the consent model in the different laws and regulations, particularly, the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation, 2019 (NDPR) which is the most comprehensive data protection framework in Nigeria. Ibe and Ibrahim admonish that the proposed Data Protection Bill give some thought beyond the consent model to ensure adequate protection of the rights of data subjects.
