VPNs with servers in Nigeria

Providers with exit locations in Nigeria: a server here gives you an address in the country. The register’s table records no mandate for VPN operators here; the briefing below sets out what the law asks of providers.

Providers with exit locations in a country — a fact about a network, kept deliberately apart from where the company is registered. Only providers whose country list has a source appear: a provider that publishes nothing simply does not show up, which is a criterion already in the data rather than an editorial one.

Nigeria suspended a social platform nationwide from June 2021 to January 2022, and the ECOWAS Court of Justice later declared the suspension unlawful. The Cybercrimes Act 2015 separately obliged service providers to keep traffic data and subscriber information for two years, and commentators report that its 2024 amendment recast that duty to follow the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023.

Section 38 of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act 2015 obliged service providers to keep traffic data and subscriber information for two years and to disclose them on request to a law enforcement agency. A service provider is any public or private entity that lets users communicate by means of a computer system or mobile network, and any entity that processes or stores computer data for such a service or its users (s. 58).

What the law requires of a provider standing here

Commentary on the amending Act, assented to on 28 February 2024, reports that it recast section 38(1) so that the data is kept and protected in line with the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023. Interception under section 39 needs a court warrant obtained on information on oath. Whether a VPN operator is a service provider within the Act is not established.

What is restricted

In June 2021 the information minister announced an indefinite suspension of Twitter’s operations in Nigeria. The federal government approved lifting it on 12 January 2022 after setting conditions for the platform.

Whether posting can be prosecuted

Section 24 of the 2015 Act punished sending by computer a grossly offensive, pornographic, indecent, obscene or menacing message, or one known to be false and sent to cause annoyance or hatred, with up to three years in prison, a fine of up to ₦7 million, or both. Commentary reports that the 2024 amendment narrowed it to pornographic messages and messages likely to breach law and order and threaten life.

Traffic data and subscriber information held under section 38 are what identify an account. Reporters Without Borders recorded at least eight journalists arrested, prosecuted or detained under the Act in the seven months after the amendment.

What it means for the rows below

On 25 March 2022 the ECOWAS Court of Justice held that section 24 of the 2015 Act did not conform to article 9 of the African Charter and article 19 of the ICCPR, and ordered Nigeria to align it. On 14 July 2022 it declared the Twitter suspension described above unlawful.

A later application against the 2024 text (ECW/CCJ/APP/03/25) was dismissed for lack of sufficient evidence of rights violations. The order of the rows is the security score, and a server’s location is not a recommendation.

Nigeria

Ranked by security

Only a provider that publishes a country list appears here at all — 41 of the 77 on file. The other 27 are not missing research: they publish no list, and U02_server_countries is unknown for them rather than filled from the number their marketing claims.

A provider that says “100+ countries” and enumerates none gets no page on any of them, and the count printed on its own record is the length of the list, never the claim. With 41 providers behind 180 countries, the long tail of these pages carries one or two rows.
