The National Information Technology Development Agency, (NITDA) has expressed its readiness to collaborate with the National Identity Management Commission, (NIMC) on National Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) to enhance digital identity, payment ecosystem and secure seamless exchange of data in the country.

NITDA’s move Digital TimesNG learnt, is to further strengthen Nigeria cyberspace and enhance digital trust as enshrined in the National Information Technology Development Agency, (NITDA) Strategic Roadmap and Action Plan 2.0.  

The Agency’s Director General, Kashifu Inuwa, made this known during a working visit to his counterpart, the NIMC Director General, Engr. Bisoye Coker-Odusote to discuss the various initiatives that centered around the building of DPI stacks for a secure and seamless data exchange and forming partnerships to transform the national identity system. 

While emphasising that the collaboration will harness the potential of the technology innovation ecosystem, he maintained that the use of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) will also help to drive Nigeria’s digital transformation agenda.  

He used the opportunity to provide insights into the Agency’s Strategic Roadmap and Action Plan stating that NITDA is evolving and that has informed the decision of the Agency to keep re-imagining itself.

He noted that the Agency recently re-crafted its vision and mission to reflect the current realities in the industry.  

Inuwa further explained that the Agency’s Strategic Roadmap and Action Plan (SRAP 2024-2027) 2.0 is anchored on eight pillars.

In her remarks, the NIMC’s Director General, expressed the enthusiasm of the Commission to collaborate with NITDA in advancing the digital economy sector stating that “no institution can implement all its policies and programmes in isolation, we need each other to achieve the set targets.”
