In a move aimed at advancing the study and understanding of privacy and data protection in Nigeria, legal expert and author Olumide Babalola has made his pioneering 2021 book, Privacy and Data Protection in Nigeria, freely accessible as an open-access resource. The book, recognized as the first of its kind on data protection law in Nigeria, is now available to students, lecturers, and researchers.
As Nigerian law faculties increasingly incorporate data protection into their curricula, whether as a stand-alone course or within existing subjects, Babalola’s decision to provide free access to this essential resource is expected to significantly bolster academic and practical engagement with the subject. His work is set to support the legal community, fostering a deeper understanding of this critical area of law as data protection issues take center stage globally.
The open-access book can be accessed here.
This step further solidifies Babalola’s commitment to empowering the next generation of legal minds in Nigeria, as the nation continues to develop its framework for privacy and data protection.
