Tinubu Converts EFCC Property to NDPC Headquarters
President Bola Tinubu has approved the conversion of a property seized by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) into the headquarters of the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC). Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, announced this decision during the commissioning of the facility in Abuja.
The NDPC had raised concerns about its need for a permanent office due to expanding responsibilities. Tijani stated that the recovered property would be used productively to protect Nigerians' personal data and enhance confidence in the digital economy.
He noted that the property, once linked to corruption, is now dedicated to a commission focused on protecting citizens. Tijani also mentioned that Tinubu provided financial support to the NDPC during its early challenges.
The President signed the Nigeria Data Protection Act in 2023, strengthening the commission's legal framework. National Commissioner Vincent Olatunji revealed that approval for the property was obtained from the EFCC in July 2025, with renovations starting in March 2026.
