AI regulation in Nigeria

Proposed / draft legislationNothing binding yet. The direction is visible enough to design against, but the text can still change.

Nigeria has circulated a draft National AI Strategy; NITDA has issued non-binding guidance. No enacted AI-specific statute identified.

The instrument

National AI strategy (draft)

Administered by National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA).

Not yet mapped to obligation level

AIC has verified Nigeria's regulatory position — the status, the instrument and the administering body above are checked against primary sources. What is not here is the clause-by-clause breakdown of what the instrument requires, because we have not done that work for this jurisdiction yet.

We would rather leave that visible than write a plausible-sounding summary nobody checked. If Nigeria matters to your organisation, tell us and it moves up the queue.

This page is a general orientation guide built from public sources, not legal advice, and it does not establish that any organisation complies with Nigeria's requirements. AIC certifies governance against its own published standard; that is a different question from legal compliance, and neither substitutes for the other. Back to the map.
