President Bola Tinubu on Thursday declared that his administration is committed to providing a credible, secure, verifiable, and usable identity management system across the board, asserting that such a system is fundamental to the nation’s developmental goals.

President Tinubu spoke at the State House during the launch of the NINAUTH APP, a digital, mobile-based identity authentication Application developed by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).

He added that his administration is leveraging technology to enhance efficiency, transparency and accountability in governance.

In furtherance of this, President Tinubu assured that all Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) will soon adopt the new app for staff and data verification.

“Today’s official launch of the NIMC NINAuth App heralds a remarkable day in our nation’s digital public infrastructure journey as Africa’s largest identity database. This innovation marks yet another milestone in our collective pursuit of a digitally-empowered Nigeria.

“Under the Renewed Hope Agenda, our administration is committed to leveraging technology to enhance efficiency, transparency, and accountability in governance. Central to this agenda is the modernisation of digital infrastructure to eliminate unnecessary bottlenecks and ensure that every Nigerian, regardless of background or location, has access to essential services without the frustration of bureaucratic delays.”

President Tinubu explained that the ‘App’ will place Nigeria on par with the world’s most technologically advanced nations and create an environment for seamless, secure, and inclusive access to services, opportunities, and benefits, while maintaining the highest standards of data protection and national security.
