Ritemate Technologies Champions Data Privacy & Compliance with Landmark Training in Lagos
Ritemate Technologies recently spearheaded a critical initiative to bolster data privacy and compliance within Nigeria’s evolving digital landscape. The company hosted an intensive two-day training program on Data Privacy, Protection & Compliance from September 9–10, 2025, at the Adna Hotel in Lagos. This training, crucial for businesses operating in Nigeria, saw participation from professionals spanning diverse sectors, including banking, media, technology, telecommunications, consulting, and government agencies. The program went beyond simply explaining the law and provided practical insights on integrating compliance into core business strategies, daily operations, and fostering innovation within organizations.
Understanding the Imperative for Data Protection in Nigeria
The driving force behind this training is the necessity for organizations to comply with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) of 2023. This legislation mandates that every entity processing personal data register as either a Data Controller or a Data Processor. Further, it stipulates the requirement to file an Annual Compliance Audit Return (CAR). Failure to adhere to these regulations carries significant consequences, encompassing financial penalties, reputational harm, and potential restrictions on business operations. Jide Ogunleye, CEO of Ritemate Technologies, emphasized the importance of shifting away from a superficial approach to compliance. He asserted that Nigerian businesses must view compliance as a cornerstone of their operations, especially considering data’s central role in the digital economy. This training is designed to help build trust, stimulate innovation, and future-proof businesses in the region.
