Anxiety Heightens in Nigeria over EU’s GDPR Law

The May 25, 2018 deadline for the commencement of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) law for European (EU) countries has continued to raise anxiety among businesses in Nigeria and beyond.

Nigerian business men and women are of the view that the law will affect businesses in Nigeria, especially businesses that have international partnerships with foreign countries, which directly or indirectly have business affiliations with EU countries.

Their fear is based on the global compliance with the law because of the heavy penalty that will come with the breach of the law when it takes effect from May 25, 2018. Some are of the opinion that most businesses outside EU, including Nigeria may be grounded by the time the law takes effect.
