The course is intended to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Nigerian Data Protection Act, 2003, focusing on practical and theoretical aspects of data management.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We launched a new data management course to ensure that civil servants are well-informed about data protection and management. The free course will start with 10,000 civil servants, equipping them with the skills needed for effective data management,&#8221; Dr. Tijani stated. He emphasized the necessity of handling data responsibly to prevent the risks associated with data misuse.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Vincent Olatunji, National Commissioner of the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC), also addressed the event, emphasizing the benefits of proper data management. Represented by Dr. Tolulope Pius-Fadipe, Head of Research and Development at NDPC, Olatunji reiterated that data management must adhere to key principles that ensure privacy and protection.<\/p>\n<p>This training initiative is part of the government&#8217;s broader efforts to modernize the public sector and safeguard citizens&#8217; data in an increasingly digital world. By equipping civil servants with the necessary skills and knowledge, the government aims to foster a culture of responsible data management across all MDAs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal Government of Nigeria, through the Ministry of Communication, Innovation, and Digital Economy, has announced plans to train 10,000 civil servants on data management.
