What NASS members earn is not written anywhere in the constitution. There's a government agency that sets wages for public office holders. The president needs to approach the head to discuss how to slash everyone's earnings, including his.

A Nigeria's president is a very influential person. He can even remove a man which the constitution says he cannot. Obi is a smart and intelligent man. He will do a good job as a president when it comes to reducing the cost of governance.

The minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof. Isa Ali Pantami says it is a criminal offence to access data in Nigeria without permission.

This he said underscored the need to have principal legislation in place, in order to ensure the safety, privacy and confidentiality of data in Nigeria.

 And to address the situation, he said the ministry is working hard with critical stakeholders to bequeath the country’s principal legislation before the end of this year.

The minister made this known on Tuesday during a National Validation Workshop on the draft National Data Protection Bill held in Abuja.

The bill according to him will be transmitted to the Federal Executive Council for deliberation and if approved by Federal Executive Council will be transmitted to the National Assembly by the President to enable them to Kickstart the process of legislation before the commencement of general elections next year.

“There is a need to have principal legislation in place, in order to ensure safety, privacy and confidentiality of data.

“The Bill will be transmitted to the Federal Executive Council for deliberation and if approved by FEC, will be transmitted to the National Assembly by the President to enable them to Kickstart the process of legislation before the end of December 2022.

“The reason for having the legislation is to ensure that there is no vacuum. In order to ensure confidentiality, privacy and security of our citizen’s data, we commenced the process of having principal legislation in Nigeria Data Protection law.

“The ministry is working hard with critical stakeholders to bequeath a befitting principal legislation for Data Protection before the end of the year.”

He said, though, the country has other existing legislation the country requires principal legislation to guarantee the safety and privacy of individual and corporate organizations.

He explained that the workshop was necessary to collate stakeholders’ input for inclusive and rancour-free legislation.

“The Bill is very important and without legislation on it will not make much impact. It is a sector that has unlimited space to be utilized to grow the economy.

“Enacting the National Data Protection law is in the process, this process commenced in January 2019, when we came up with a Nigeria legislation.

He further said that a lot had been achieved in the area of creating awareness, and job creation.

“We realized the need to have a full-fledged law which is principal legislation which will go as an executive bill in order to accommodate all the areas that are not backed by full legislation.

“The process was initially coordinated by NIMC but President Muhammadu Buhari later approved a full-blown agency NDPB.

“The data being generated today is mind-boggling, and because of the huge data being generated, we must have legislation in place to ensure that there is confidentiality and privacy of that data so that the data will not be abused.

“The first industrial revolution was about data generation, citizens submit their data to government or private institutions, some countries commercialize data and that is why we are very proactive in Nigeria in order to ensure that there is no vacuum,

“We came up with the Nigeria Data Protection regulation and relying on our regulatory powers, immediately commenced enforcement because subsidiary legislation is considered a law up to the Supreme Court.

“The reason for having the legislation is to ensure that there is no vacuum. In order to ensure confidentiality, privacy and security of our citizen’s data, we commenced the process of having a principal legislation in Nigeria Data Protection law.

“In the 4th industrial revolution, data is key, the quantity of data generated in Nigeria in the last three years increased by 202 per cent. The whole quantity of data generated globally within three years approximately was 5 exabytes. In 48 hours, the quantity of data generated globally is equated to the quantity of data that was generated within a period of 5000 years.

“By 2025, because of the Internet of Things, it is going to be exponential growth of data.

Today the data being generated in Nigeria is in terabytes and there must be legislation in place to ensure that this data being generated is confidential, secured and private.

“The 1999 Constitution specifically states that citizens’ correspondences and communication must be private and confidential and the Section 37 of the constitution, data protection was clearly mentioned except under the cybercrime 2015 where there is a provision of Lawful Intercept  where security agencies establish a prima facie case before intercepting certain communication.”

In his address, the National Commissioner of the National Data Protection Bureau, Dr Vincent Olatunji said, “One of the mandates of the bureau by the President is to enact principal legislation on data protection.

“We are here to give a synopsis of the bill and by midnight the bureau will download the draft bill on its website and that of the ministry.

“The target is to get it passed before  December.”

The Director General of the National Identity Management Commission. Engr. Azeez Aliyu said the process started in 2019  with the National Data Protection Regulation as subsidiary legislation enacted based on the provision of the NITDA Act 2007.

“Data generation starts at birth and we have very low birth registration, we have. All these data are important for the development of the nation,” he said and pledged continued support by NIMC to ensure the success of the project.

In his goodwill message, the chairman. Sen. Committee on Communication, Sen. Yakubu  Oseni said that the Bill is very important and without legislation on it, the sector would make little impact on the economy.

” It is a sector that has unlimited space to be utilized to grow the economy.

“Enacting the National Data Protection law is in the process, this process commenced in January 2019, where we came up with a Nigeria.”

Earlier in his opening Address, the

Coordinator of NID4D Project,  Solomon Odole explained that the process of protecting data in Nigeria started in 2019  with the National Data Protection Regulation as a subsidiary legislation enacted based on the provision of the NITDA Act 2007.

To begin accurate data preservation, he said the collation starts at birth and we have very low birth registration, we have

“All these data are important for the development of the nation.”

That's actually a positive factor. It means that by the time he wins the election, he will be free to work for the masses, no NASS members or governors to settle.

This is why we the common masses of Nigeria are supporting Peter Obi.

Racoon:
Giving Obi a chance in 2023 would not be largesse to the bespectacled ascetic what is at stake transcends one man he is just a catalyst for the new Nigeria we desire. It is more about the things his emergence would represent: that the people come first, that democracy must indeed be of the people, by the people and for the people.

That anyone can emerge as president no matter what part of the country they come from or how they worship, as long as they are best suited for the job; that people with the sheer power to vote can sack the stale politicians with their shopworn ideas and toxicity.

Nigeria at this time needs a visionary, not an emperor. We must wrest ourselves from the manacles of those who have held us bound and have become entitled to our commonwealth. We must shun prejudices as we forge ahead to become a prosperous nation. We must make this Obi experiment now and turn the tide against the political elite because fortune only favours the brave. It is in our hands.

Man Utd is going to surprise everyone today. it will end in their favour.

Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar, says Peoples Democratic Party, has realised its mistakes from the past and is working assiduously towards getting its lost glory.

Atiku, who was in Gombe for a wedding ceremony, briefly opened a campaign office dedicated to the realisation of his 2023 aspiration of becoming the number one citizen.

Our correspondent reports that the office was donated by Jamilu Ishaku, the first runner-up in the 2023 PDP gubernatorial election.

Also, donated were about 10 space wagon campaign vehicles provided by Ishaku.

Explaining the chances of the PDP in an interview he granted journalists at the Sani Abacha International Airport Gombe, Abubakar described the party’s chances as high due to its impeccable record.

He acknowledged that the party lost in 2015, following what he termed as mistakes, which the PDP had recovered from.

Abubakar said, “PDP is a very popular party and it is the oldest party in Nigeria. We have realised that we made mistakes.”

Speaking on the chances of the party in 2023 election amidst the growing internal wranglings in the main opposition party, Abubakar added that talks were still on.

“I’m still talking to aggrieved members of the party and I believe at the end of the day we will work together,” he added.

Peter Obi has never failed in anything before.

Actually, this APC administration took us back to 1970 era.

But we were here warning Nigerians not to make the mistake of voting for an ex force man who doesn't even understand what democracy means. Same as Atiku

We are still warning Nigerians today not to vote for a man who cannot show us his school records.

It's easy to spot a failure from a mile away.

APC and PDP candidates are not supposed to get a single vote in the coming elections if we don't want to be crying more in 2031.

DOTian:
Jonathan is not totally innocent of the tragedy that we have found ourselves in todays Nigeria. His naivety and extremely simplicitic impressions of power led us all to this part. As the former president and commander in chief, he had all the security briefings that should have warned him of the dangers of allowing a wayward religious and ethnic irredentist like Buhari to hyjack power. His oaths of office demands that he acts decisively! Folks warned him to stop Buhari and the responsibility of power demands making concrete sacrifices in such dicey moments to protect not just the state but your people.

But what did Jonathan do? He allowed himself to be stampeded out of power , all in a bid to be seen as international statesman! What a joke! Today he's busy going from one country to the other making speaches and supervising elections, while Nigerians die in their tens of thousands from Buharis incompetence. He said that "no life should be lost because of his ambitions", but thousands of lives have now been lost because of his lack of desicive actions and abdication of leadership at a very critical period for the country. Jonathan had many good reasons to stop Buhari. From his certificate mess, to his threats to spill blood in other to win. But he did nothing. That's why we're where we are today.

The Southern Senators’ Forum has urged State Houses of Assembly across the nation to expedite action on the Review of the 1999 Constitution as transmitted to them by the National Assembly, adding that this would be an Independence anniversary gift to Nigerians if done as such.

The Chairman of the Forum, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, made this known in a statement issued on the occasion of the commemoration of the 62nd Independence anniversary. Bamidele said he was optimistic that most of the challenges facing the nation would be a thing of the past if the salient report becomes law.

Bamidele also urged Nigerians to be optimistic about the future of the nation, notwithstanding the enormity of our current challenges, adding that there is yet light at the end of the tunnel if we have faith in God and take the much-needed steps.

He pointed out that just like the political office holders and public servants in general, every citizen has a role to play in the nation-building process and with determination, faith and persistence, Nigerians will surely witness a new Nigeria which is headed for growth and development and that is devoid of violence, hostilities, acrimony.


The statement read, “As we celebrate the 62nd Independence anniversary of our great nation, I will like to implore the State Houses of Assembly across the Federation to expedite action on the passage of the Review of the 1999 Constitution as transmitted to them by the National Assembly because some of the problems facing the people of Nigeria are already being addressed in the amendment draft transmitted to the State Houses Assembly.


“The speedy passage of the amendment will serve as the most cherished and memorable anniversary gift you can give to the electorates who reposed confidence in you by voting you as their representatives in the Houses Assembly.”

She added, “We must also know that the process of nation building is a collective responsibility of both the leaders and followers in order for us to have the nation of our desire and Nigerians should continue to hope for a greater future and with determination, faith and persistence, Nigerians will surely see a nation devoid of banditry, terrorism, kidnapping, ethnic hostilities, and acrimony.

“Nigerians should not succumb their future in the hands of the pessimists who are always craving for negative news in the country, but put their trust in God, for He will surely see us through our challenges as a nation.”
