The Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, has advised Nigerians to be cautious of posting indiscriminately on social media platforms as it exposes their data.
The Minister who gave the advice during a meeting with Data Protection Officers (DPOs) in Abuja noted that data privacy is not just a matter of convenience, but a fundamental human right, which is why everyone should be watchful about how they release their data and what is being used for.
According to him, as more Nigerians embrace the digital age, it is crucial that their personal and sensitive information is maintained under the eyes of confidentiality.
He said the government was committed to ensuring that every Nigerian could trust the digital platforms that they use, knowing that their personal data will not be misused.
