Many Nigerians need more legal identification to access social services, with over half the population needing documentation. Only 12% have a national identification number, and less than 1% possess an identity card. The “Nigeria Digital Identification for Development” project, in collaboration with the Nigerian government and the World Bank, aims to create a digital identification system for all Nigerians to enhance access to services while promoting inclusivity and gender equality. Our technology correspondent, Paul Ndiho, spoke to Hilary Damissah, Editor of Cyber News and COO at the Center for Cyber Awareness and Development in Abuja, Nigeria.
