Is There A Nigerian Customer Data Protection Act?

Is There A Nigerian Version Of The Uk's Data Protection Act?

Hi all,

I'm developing a Customer Database for a Nigerian company and since the database involves personal details I want to know if theres an equivalent of the Data Protection act (eg http://www.jisclegal.ac.uk/publications/dprosemaryjay.htm) in Nigeria that legislates what can be done with this data?

How is the privacy of Nigerians protected when people build large databases like this? What's to stop the company I work for, or our client, selling the database to other companies for them to use for marketing purposes, apart from our own morals?

If there is a government body organising this, do they do it properly? Do they take action when privacy is breached?
