Tinubu said his administration is embracing technology to drive efficiency, transparency, and accountability in governance. He noted that the new system would soon be adopted by all Ministries, Departments, and Agencies for staff and data verification.

“Today’s official launch of the NIMC NINAuth App marks a remarkable day in our nation’s digital public infrastructure journey as Africa’s largest identity database,” the President said.

“This innovation represents another milestone in our collective quest for a digitally empowered Nigeria. Under the Renewed Hope Agenda, our government is determined to use technology to improve efficiency, transparency, and accountability in governance.

“At the core of this agenda is the modernisation of digital infrastructure to remove unnecessary bottlenecks and ensure that every Nigerian, regardless of background or location, can access essential services without frustration or delays.”

Tinubu explained that the new app positions Nigeria alongside technologically advanced nations by providing a seamless, secure, and inclusive system for accessing government services, while maintaining high standards of data protection and national security.

“This approach simplifies access, reduces bureaucracy, and closes the loopholes where inefficiency and corruption thrive,” he added.

The President further stated that a credible and inclusive national identity system would strengthen financial inclusion, enhance social welfare delivery, improve national security, and support evidence-based planning for development.
