Olumide Babalola, a privacy law professional, is pleased to announce the founding of the Data Privacy Lawyers Association of Nigeria (DPLAN). This pioneering initiative seeks to bring together legal professionals in Nigeria who are passionate about privacy and data protection.

Data Privacy Lawyers Association of Nigeria (DPLAN) has been established to address the growing need for specialized legal expertise in privacy and data protection law in Nigeria. With the rise of digital transformation and data-centric business practices, privacy concerns are more prominent than ever, and there is an increasing need for legal professionals who understand the nuances of data protection regulations, such as the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA), and the global landscape of privacy law.
DPLAN aims to serve as a professional body for privacy lawyers in Nigeria, providing a platform for networking, knowledge sharing, and advocacy for stronger data protection laws and practices. The association also seeks to play a key role in educating stakeholders, including businesses, policymakers, and the public, on the importance of data privacy.
