The rules changed. Many templates didn’t.

The Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 is now supported by the NDPC’s General Application and Implementation Directive (GAID), which took effect on 19 September 2025 and replaced the old NDPR. If your privacy policy still cites the NDPR, it is out of date.

If you hold patient files, beneficiary lists, customer phone numbers or staff records, the law applies to you. For clinics, NGOs and online sellers it asks for more: written DPIAs, consent records, vendor agreements, staff training and 72-hour breach reporting.

This kit turns those duties into documents you can fill in this week.

What’s inside

Seven files, about 80 pages of templates plus an 11-sheet workbook.

SMEs and online sellers

Fix marketing consent, cookie banners, CCTV, vendor contracts and staff data without a legal department.

What you’ll be able to do

Grounded in the official text

Every template points to the GAID article behind it, so you can check the source. We read the GAID itself, not just summaries, and the guide shows you where to confirm points that depend on current NDPC notices, such as your registration tier.

Please note: this kit is a set of practical templates and guidance. It is not legal advice and does not guarantee compliance. We recommend a lawyer or licensed Data Protection Compliance Organisation reviews your final documents.

Questions

Is this legal advice?

No. It is a template and guidance kit. Have a qualified data protection lawyer or licensed DPCO review your final documents.

Can I edit the documents?

Yes. They are Word and Excel files. Replace the yellow placeholders with your own details and delete the guidance notes.

Do I need to register with the NDPC?

Only if you are a data controller or processor of major importance. The Quick-Start Guide walks you through the check and tells you where to confirm your tier.

I’m a very small business. Is this too much?

No. The SME chapter has a lean 30-day plan, and you can skip templates that don’t apply to you.

Does it cover the old NDPR?

No. The NDPR no longer applies. The kit is built only on the NDPA 2023 and the GAID 2025.
