The Commissioner for Insurance and Chief Executive Officer of the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM), Mr. Olusegun Omosehin, has expressed the readiness of the commission to collaborate with the National Data Protection Commission (NDPC) in its efforts to ensure data protection in the country.
Omosehin made this promise when he received the CEO of the NDPC, Mr. Vincent Olatunji, during his courtesy visit to his office in Abuja.
In his welcome remarks, the NAICOM’s boss, who highlighted the key functions of the insurance commission and areas of mutual benefits between it and the data commission, assured the NPDC’s management team of his commission’s readiness to partner the NPDC as a desirable step towards the attainment of the mandates of the two commissions.
In his response, Olatunji thanked the Commissioner for insurance for the warm reception of his team, adding that the team in the NPDC, being one of the agencies newly created by the Federal Government, is at NAICOM to create awareness on the data protection law and solicit the cooperation of NAICOM and to entrench data protection policy among its regulated entities.
He explained that the NDPC was first taking the step to create awareness and build capacity before fully enforcement of the law on protection of data privacy nationwide.
