The first meeting of the National Insurance Commission NAICOM and the National data Protection Commission NDPC responded to the current phase to collaborate on data nurturing and deployment for national mandates.
This formed the crux of deliberations at the head office of NAICOM when the Commissioner for Insurance/CEO NAICOM Mr. Olusegun Ayo Omosehin received in his office today the National Commissioner/CEO National Data Protection Commission (NDPC) Mr. Vincent O. Olatunji on a courtesy visit.
The CFI in his welcome remarks assured Mr. Olatunji and members of his team of NAICOM’s readiness to collaborate with the NPDC towards the attainment of the mandates of the respective Agencies. He highlighted the key functions of NAICOM and areas of mutual benefits.
In his response, Mr. Olatunji thanked the CFI for the warm reception and stated that the NPDC being one of the agencies newly created by the Federal Government, was at NAICOM to create awareness on the data protection law as well as seek the cooperation of NAICOM and collaboration to entrench data protection policy among its regulated entities.
The National Commissioner stated that the NDPC is first taking the step to create awareness and build capacity before full enforcement of the law on protection of data privacy in the count.
