NAGF

NAGF is Gamut’s system-specific Nigerian AI Governance Framework assessment. It brings together current cross-sector law, regulator instruments, sector obligations, national AI policy, proposed legislation and responsible-AI readiness without presenting them as one legal instrument.

The central question is:

For this AI system’s Nigerian nexus, organisational role and regulated activities, which current obligations apply, what evidence supports compliance, and what separate policy or future-readiness work remains?

How Gamut operationalises NAGF

Selected system and authoritative Nigerian-nexus route
  → 19 legal and sector route decisions
  → current-law, conditional, policy and proposed-law lanes
  → 108 item-level compliance decisions
  → depth, legal basis, evidence, tests and findings
  → approved N/A where genuinely outside scope
  → separate current-law and readiness conclusions
  → legal-change and event-driven reassessment

What a defensible record contains

Selected system, role, purpose and Nigerian nexus.
Applicable regulator, licence, sector and processing routes.
Official source and current status for every legal proposition relied upon.
Item result, depth and system-specific rationale.
Accepted evidence and bounded tests.
Approved N/A basis, owner and review date.
Findings and treatment.
Separate current-law and policy/proposed-law readiness positions.
Assessor, legal/compliance reviewer, evidence cutoff and next review.

What the assessment does not prove

It does not by itself prove:

That every NAGF item is law.
That a proposed bill is enacted.
That a sector rule applies without the regulated activity or role.
That an official notice has not been superseded.
Legal compliance from a percentage alone.
That another framework’s evidence automatically satisfies a Nigerian obligation.
That AI-generated analysis is legal advice.
