Ayeni noted that with the huge number of registered exporters in the country, striving to fulfil several international contract obligations for the export of Made-in-Nigeria products, there is a need to protect  sensitive data to ensure that Nigerian businesses remain competitive in global trade.
She observed that safeguarding personal and corporate data will further attract positive endorsements from the international community and help increase Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) into the country.

Dr. Olatunji says, the NDPC is willing to provide capacity building on data protection and control for officers of the Council to make the NEPC compliant with global best practices.
