The National Data Protection Commission (NDPC) will train permanent secretaries and heads of parastatals on data protection.

NDPC National Commissioner, Dr. Vincent Olatunji, disclosed this at the opening of a three-day technical and organisational drill on data protection measures for information technology administrators across Ministries, Department and Agencies (MDAs) on Monday in Abuja.

Olatunji disclosed that plans are underway for the commission to train permanent secretaries and heads of parastatals in the country.

“We’ve already opened conversation with the head of the civil service of the federation, that’s the body that controls permanent secretaries and all civil servants, and we are discussing with them just to get the appropriate time to ensure that we have all the permanent secretaries in one group, to create awareness.
