TInubu Administration. deploy data exchange platform to end citizens’ repeated submissions of personal information

The federal government plans to end the practice of Nigerians repeatedly submitting their personal data by deploying the Nigerian Data Exchange Platform (NGDX).

Speaking at a stakeholders’ workshop on the NGDX in Abuja on Monday, August 25, NITDA’s director general, Kashifu Inuwa, said the NGDX will serve as a unified and secure data exchange system for government institutions.

For many years, Nigerians have been required to submit identical personal and biometric information to various government agencies for different purposes, such as for National Identity Number (NIN) registration, driver’s licenses, and international passports.

This new system is designed to eliminate such repetition by enabling authorized agencies to seamlessly verify and share records internally, thereby removing the need for citizens to resubmit the same data for each interaction.

This reform is expected to save Nigerians time and money while also reducing inefficiencies within the public sector.

Inuwa added that businesses, especially fintechs and service providers that rely on identity verification, also stand to benefit from faster KYC processes and easier access to government-backed data verification systems.

He noted that the NGDX will go beyond convenience. By enabling the use of anonymised public data, it will create opportunities for startups and enterprises to innovate in sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, fintech, and education technology.

Inuwa stated, “The NGDX will open opportunities for innovation, allowing startups and enterprises to build solutions leveraging anonymised public data for improved healthcare delivery, agricultural productivity, fintech development, and education technology.”

He describes the NGDX as essential digital infrastructure comparable to the nationwide fibre optic rollout, it is a critical piece of Nigeria’s digital economy.

He assured participants that NITDA is working with the Ministry of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, along with other key stakeholders, to ensure its successful rollout.

The NGDX initiative has the backing of the European Union (EU) through its Global Gateway project in Nigeria.

The EU described the NGDX as a bold step in strengthening Nigeria’s Digital Public Infrastructure, noting on its official X handle that several EU partners, including Finland, Estonia, Germany, and France, participated in a data exchange workshop in Abuja on Monday.

Full implementation of the NGDX could signify a major shift in citizengovernment interactions, moving from a system of long queues and repeated biometric submissions to a more streamlined and seamless digital experience.
