Why now

The NDPC is fining Nigerian companies

The Nigeria Data Protection Commission has moved from registration drives to enforcement. An organisation of major importance can be fined up to ₦10 million or 2% of its annual gross revenue, whichever is greater. For other organisations the limit is ₦2 million or 2%.

Most fines so far have been for things Izini is built to handle: processing without proper consent, weak supplier contracts and sending data abroad without safeguards.

Penalty limits: NDPA section 48, as set out in the NDPC's FAQs. Cases and sources are on the tracker.

What Izini does

Five jobs the law gives you, handled in one place

Each one is a workflow your team follows, with the evidence saved as you go.

Only on Izini

A cookie banner your customers can actually read

Consent only counts if people understand what they agree to. Izini shows your banner in English, Yorùbá, Igbo, Hausa and Pidgin, so customers in Aba, Kano or Port Harcourt see it in the language they are most comfortable with.

This website uses the same banner. Try the language buttons on this preview.

We use cookies to improve this site and to comply with Nigerian data protection law. Your choice is recorded with the date and time.

Questions

What business owners ask us

Does the NDPA apply to my business?

Almost certainly. The Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 applies to any organisation that processes the personal data of people in Nigeria, from a two-person startup to a bank. There is no size or revenue threshold that exempts a business.

An organisation is a data controller or processor of major importance if it processes the personal data of more than 200 people in six months, or works in a listed sector such as financial services, health, education, communication or e-commerce (NDPC Guidance Notice, GAID 2025 Schedule 7). It must register with the NDPC. The larger tiers (UHL and EHL) also file an annual Compliance Audit Return; the smallest tier (OHL) renews its registration each year instead. As of early 2026, more than 38,677 organisations had registered.

What happens if we don't comply?

Under section 48 of the NDPA, the NDPC can impose a penalty of up to ₦10 million or 2% of the previous year's annual gross revenue, whichever is greater, on a data controller or processor of major importance. For other organisations the limit is ₦2 million or 2%, whichever is greater.

The NDPC has used this power. It fined MultiChoice Nigeria ₦766 million in July 2025, Fidelity Bank ₦555.8 million in August 2024 and Meta $32.8 million in February 2025, a dispute later settled in court. See the enforcement tracker for the details and sources.

Do I need a DPCO, and does Izini replace one?

Organisations of major importance in the UHL and EHL tiers file their annual Compliance Audit Return through a Data Protection Compliance Organisation (DPCO) licensed by the NDPC (GAID 2025 Art. 10(14)). As of early 2026, the NDPC had licensed 317 DPCOs.

Izini does not replace your DPCO or your lawyer. It does the repetitive work (the cookie banner, the records, the request log, the breach file, the evidence) so your DPCO, DPO or lawyer, if you use one, reviews a finished file instead of chasing paperwork.

We don't have a technical team. Can we still use Izini?

Yes. Every paid plan includes a guided setup session in which our team configures your cookie banner, privacy policy and records with you. Adding the banner to your website is a single script that your web agency can paste in, or load through Google Tag Manager.

Day to day, Izini is used by whoever looks after compliance: an owner, an operations lead, HR or a DPO. The developer tools are there if you have a technical team, but you do not need them.
