The Supreme Court’s decision in Jackson v The State sparked national debate on the limits of self-defence under Nigerian law.

When it comes to children’s data, compliance is not optional, it is heightened responsibility.
Organisations that collect or process children’s personal data must go beyond basic data protection practices. The law demands stronger safeguards, clearer consent structures, and stricter accountability.

Our Data Compliance Playbook for Handling Children’s Data was developed to help stakeholders:

• Understand the legal framework governing children’s data
• Implement compliant data handling processes
• Embed privacy-by-design into products and services
• Mitigate regulatory and reputational exposure

If your institution, platform, or business interacts with children’s data in any capacity, this playbook provides the clarity you need.

The SEC has raised the minimum capital requirements for capital market operators, and the implications are significant.

Under the Investments and Securities Act, 2025, new thresholds now apply across brokerage, fund management, advisory, fintech, and digital asset categories. While the compliance deadline runs until June 2027, the regulatory expectation is clear: operators must demonstrate financial strength, operational resilience, and long-term market readiness.

This is not a last-minute compliance issue. Capital planning, corporate restructuring, and regulatory approvals take time, and early action will determine who remains competitive in the market.

Our carousel breaks down what has changed, who is affected, and the steps operators should be taking now to stay ahead of regulatory risk.

Organizations become vulnerable when compliance duties are scattered across departments without clear coordination, ownership, or proper documentation. In that environment, risk accumulates quietly until they eventually surface through penalties, regulatory actions, or disrupted transactions. At that point, fixing the issues can be costly and damaging to reputation.

The 2026 Compliance Playbook emphasizes systematization—mapping out every obligation across legal, regulatory, governance, intellectual property, and dispute management areas, assigning responsibilities to the right teams, keeping track of deadlines centrally, and regularly reviewing and adjusting roles as the business changes.

This approach shifts compliance from a reactive burden to a stabilising framework that helps support growth, boost investor confidence, and build trust with regulators. It shows a business that views governance as a strategic advantage rather than just a administrative requirement.

Stabilisation clauses exist because long-term projects cannot survive constant regulatory unpredictability. They define how future legal changes apply to an investment and who bears the economic impact when the rules shift.

This is not about resisting reform. It is about fairness, predictability, and balanced risk allocation between states and investors.

If you work with cross-border investments or regulated industries, this conversation matters.
