what i do

four things, one through-line: the law has not caught up with the technology, and that gap costs organisations money, trust and sometimes their licence to operate. i help close it.

data protection

for nigerian and international clients

nigeria passed a real data protection law in 2023. the Nigeria Data Protection Act is not the NDPR that most compliance templates were written for. it created the Nigeria Data Protection Commission, introduced the DCMI designation, and raised the stakes considerably for organisations processing personal data at scale.

NDPR/NDPA gap analysis

i audit your current privacy practices against what the 2023 Act and the NDPC's 2025 compliance framework actually require. most audits i have reviewed were written against the 2019 NDPR. they are not sufficient.

DCMI audit readiness

if your organisation qualifies as a Data Controller of Major Importance, you have statutory obligations that most general counsel are not yet familiar with. i prepare you for what that audit actually looks like.

privacy-by-design review

for startups building products that handle personal data, i review your architecture and product flow before you have a problem, not after.

DSAR framework

data subject access requests are coming. i set up the process so your team can respond within the statutory window without a crisis every time.

who this is for: nigerian startups, small and medium businesses, ngos handling personal data, and international companies with nigerian operations or nigerian user bases.

ai governance

for nigerian institutions and international organisations

AI systems are making decisions that used to require a human and a signature. the legal frameworks for governing that are being written now, in real time, and most organisations in nigeria are not in the room.

AI governance framework design

i help institutions develop internal policies for how they use, procure and oversee AI systems. this includes documentation of AI use, bias monitoring protocols and human oversight requirements.

AI ethics audits

i review your current AI deployments against the EU AI Act, the OECD AI Principles and the provisions of nigeria's 2026 National E-Governance Bill.

research and advisory

i produce deep-research outputs on AI governance questions for organisations that need to understand the space without building an internal team to do it.

who this is for: nigerian public institutions, tech companies, international ngos, law firms advising tech clients.

legal research and paralegal support

i am a law student with a specific skill set that most law students do not have: i can use AI tools to move through research faster than most, i understand the limitations of those tools in the nigerian legal context, and i produce written work that is clear, sourced and usable.

legal research

detailed research memos on nigerian and comparative law. i have done this on tort, employment law, data protection, ai governance and constitutional matters.

document review

AI-assisted document review with human verification. i am specifically useful on documents involving tech, data or ai-related clauses.

position papers

for firms or practitioners who need a readable, well-sourced summary of a complex legal landscape before they advise a client.
