The Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) says the federal government has fined Fidelity Bank Plc. N555.8 million for data breaches.
The National Commissioner of NDPC, Vincent Olatunji, said this at the Nigeria Data Protection (NDP) Act General Application and Implementation Directive (GAID) validation workshop in Abuja.
Mr Olatunji recalled that President Bola Tinubu signed the NDP Act into law on 12 June 2023, thereby empowering the commission to enforce compliance of data protection on organisations by way of fines and other means.
