XpressVerify's Access To Nigerians' NIN, Data: FG To Investigate Breach by fergie001: 8:47pm On Mar 17 |
NATIONAL IDENTITY MANAGEMENT COMMISSION NDPC Earlier, the Minister of Communications, Innovation & Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani who was called out replied via X, that the NIMC was no longer under his Ministry. However, Tijani hoped that the NIMC will work with the Nigeria Data Protection Commission to investigate the matter. NIMC is no longer under @FMCIDENigeria but our @ndpcngr will work with colleagues at @nimc_ng to investigate this immediately. Thanks for sharing. It can be recalled that the Bola Tinubu-led administration in September 2023 moved the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to the Ministry of Interior.

They should not waste tax payers money investigating any nonsense, useless NIN that can't be used to track ordinary kidnappers. 100 Likes 6 Shares |

This is grave and shouldn't be swept under the carpet. How can the government be careless about such sensitive data of the citizen? Fij and other whistleblowers should camp on this case 10 Likes 1 Share |

This means there are no technical people who are competent at NIMC. How did XpressVerify API interface with the national data which suppose to require authentication and authorization before access will be allowed. Only God knows what they have been able to do with people's data. Head suppose to roll with NIMC technical drivers and hard questions need to be asked. Competent hands and robust infrastructure suppose to man sensitive data as such. I am so scared there would have been lot of identity thefts already 26 Likes |

If we are a serious people and yearning for progressive innovations as a nation the NIN should not be handled with levity as it is the most important data to be secured and guarded by all Nigeria's resources 9 Likes |

Nimc cannot protect the vast amount of highly sensitive data collected during the NIN enrollment. It is a disaster waiting to happen. As a cybersecurity professional, I was disturbed through the process of data collection and biometrics enrollment about why they are capturing such data and the lax way it is being collected. There's no information regarding the storage and encryption methods in flight and at rest. Don't get me started on who they provide access or or have unauthorised access. 10 Likes |

Laptop brandishing ICT “err-spats” from Lagos doing damage since 1914. The crook in Ministry of Interior must know something about this company. Tinubu’s parapo regime will surely self destruct. 2 Likes |

We express our gratitude to our media partners and the whistleblowers for bringing this to our attention and wish to assure Nigerians and legal residents that there is no data breach of any sort and the Citizens' data is safe and secure in the Nigeria's National identity database. does that mean that NIMC had no idea what was going on with the data it was supposed to be managing? where are those folks who are always shouting on nairaland that Nigeria needs database? 2 Likes |

Is that an open check for the company to do anyhow (selling personal information)? Having partnership with government agency even makes them more committed and entails greater responsibility in the area of secured access to peoples information. They are custodians. A position of trust. It is a trust that demands accountability, not just to NIMC but to Nigerians as a whole. This occurrence could be likened to a BDC obtaining license and then using that privilege to engage in other financial crimes. |

Too many greedy and wicked Nigerians. Imagine an organization having sensitive citizens' data just as organizations in US, someone will compromise, sell your home address to kidnappers or hired assassins for profit, and nothing will be done about it. It baffles me as to how a country can be so lawless. Few days ago, we had a news of how the customs intercepted container loads of arms. That's about everything you'll ever hear, but the truth is, why can't make move to fight wrong doings in Nigeria? 4 Likes |
