Are we truly protected by the extant law on right to privacy and protection of personal information of telephone subscribers in Nigeria? Would it be safe to say that the present government are the lending a helping hand to cyber terrorists to gain unrestrained access to peoples' private and vital information
The main law that regulates the telecommunication industry is the National Communications Act. [3] Others are the National Environmental Standards and Regulatory Enforcement Agency, (NESREA) Act; the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 as amended; Federal Competition and Consumers Protection Act, 2019. For the purpose of this discourse, the focus is on this section of the law
3.4 Right to Privacy and Protection of Personal Information
The Code makes elaborate provisions for privacy, fair use of consumer information and confidentiality. Any licensee that collects information on individual consumers shall adopt and implement a policy regarding the proper collection, use and protection of that information. Such information shall be protected against improper
or accidental disclosure and should not be transferred to any party except as may be authorized by the consumer or the Commission, or as otherwise permitted or required by any applicable law or regulation.
To ensure accuracy of individual consumer information collected and stored by service providers, paragraph 38 of the Code provides that licensees collecting, maintaining, using or disclosing individually identifiable consumer information shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the information is accurate, relevant and
current for the purposes for which it is to be used. A consumer is entitled to exercise the right to have his or her directory information suppressed or removed. [13]
These provisions ensure that consumers privacy is respected, their personal information protected and that they are not inundated with telemarketing advertisements and scam messages.
Regrettably, in practice, the opposite is the case. Nigerian consumers are daily inundated with telemarketing in the form of unsolicited text messages and voice calls. There is no platform provided by any of the service providers for subscribers to exercise the option whether or not to receive advertisements in the form text
messages and calls. This is contrary to the provisions of the Code highlighted above.
