Overview
Nigeria's Technology, Media and Telecommunications sector has, in recent times, been marked by a surge of commercial and regulatory activities spanning data protection enforcement, cybersecurity-related prosecutions, 5G rollout, internet and platform regulation, digital lending oversight, and the emergence of AI governance frameworks. Collectively, these developments signal a shift from a largely permissive regulatory environment to one of active, multi-agency oversight.
This TMT report covers key TMT developments: NCC tariff rulings, Starlink's market disruption, AI regulation, digital lending enforcement, SMP determinations, Startup Act implementation, data localisation, NBC's OTT jurisdiction, CBN's fintech framework, SEC's Digital Assets Rules, and CBN's UBO and data localisation circular. It also highlights publications from KENNA's TMT Practice, including insights on the Digital Economy Framework, the EU AI Act, the Internet Code of Practice 2026, NCC's ownership oversight, and data breach response strategies.
