Nigeria: Communications Commission opened consultation on Draft Internet Code of Practice 2025 including user rights

On 9 October 2025, the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) opened a consultation on the Draft Internet Code of Practice (as amended) until 31 October 2025. The draft amends the Internet Code of Practice of 2019. The Code guarantees consumers the right to access and share lawful content, use applications and services of their choice, and connect appropriate devices without blocking or discrimination by internet access service providers, subject only to transparent and justified traffic management. Where artificial intelligence or emerging technologies are deployed on networks, consumers who may be affected have the right to be informed by providers, particularly where such tools are used in non-human interfaces for complaints or redress services.
