Technology, Data & Cybersecurity

Sambo Muritala & Co

Technology, Data & Cybersecurity (ICT/FinTech)

The rapid growth of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), FinTech innovations, and digital platforms has reshaped the Nigerian legal landscape. At Sambo Muritala & Co (Activist Chamber), we stand at the forefront of this evolution, offering practical legal solutions that balance technological innovation with consumer protection, data privacy, and regulatory compliance.
Our services cover the entire spectrum of ICT and FinTech law, including startup advisory, licensing, cybersecurity compliance, intellectual property rights, data protection, electronic payments, and digital contracts. We understand the complexities of the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) guidelines on digital payments, and international best practices such as the GDPR, which increasingly influence local regulations.

We have advised FinTech startups on structuring their businesses to comply with financial regulations while remaining competitive in a dynamic market. For larger corporations, our focus has been on cybersecurity risk assessment, data breach management, and contractual protections for cloud computing and e-commerce transactions.
Our past involvement includes defending clients against cyber fraud, assisting financial institutions with the recovery of funds lost through online scams, and advising software developers on intellectual property protection. We have also represented victims of online defamation and identity theft, ensuring justice is pursued through both criminal and civil remedies.

Beyond litigation, we engage in digital rights advocacy, promoting the responsible use of technology, consumer protection against online exploitation, and the ethical deployment of artificial intelligence. We actively collaborate with civil society organizations to raise awareness of digital rights in rural and urban communities.
Our unique activist-driven approach ensures that while we support business innovation, we also fight to protect vulnerable citizens from cybercrime, data misuse, and exploitative digital practices. We remain committed to shaping the future of ICT law in Nigeria with fairness, accountability, and social impact at the center.
