Regent Consulting

It’s one thing to see the struggle of the Nigerian job market; it’s another to see a blatant violation of the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) playing out on a street corner.

​Imagine buying guguru and epa only to find that your snack is wrapped in a copy of someone's CV. This isn't just "recycling paper"—it is a massive breach of data privacy.

​Recruitment agencies and corporate bodies have a fiduciary duty to protect the personal data entrusted to them. Handing over CVs (containing addresses, phone numbers, and sensitive history) to scrap paper vendors is a punishable offense under our current laws.

​We need to move beyond "business as usual" and hold these data controllers accountable. Privacy is a right, not a suggestion. ⚖️🇳🇬
