Abstract

It is almost undeniable that the Nigeria Data Protection Regulation (NDPR) derives its inspiration from the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). From its title to the contents, the NDPR mirrors its European counterpart in every material respect. Placing both legislation side by side, this paper attempts a comparative review of the similar yet asymmetric regulations. The paper critically analyses the NDPR’s scope, objectives and compliance mechanism vis-à-vis the GDPR’s by interrogating the draftsmen’s intention to arrive at a conclusion on the aptitude of the former.
