a year ago

Nigeria's Interior Minister Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo responded to reports of a breach in the national identity database, calling it a debatable topic.

Allegations of Database Breach

In June, the Paradigm Initiative reported that the website AnyVerify.com had access to sensitive data, including NIN, BVN, and others, selling it for just 100 naira.

Minister Tunji-Ojo's Reaction

The minister did not directly deny the breach but highlighted the need for further investigation. He emphasized the importance of data protection, underscoring that it is a key priority for the government.

If you say there was a breach, I want to say this very clearly, it is very debatable.

NIMC and NIS Collaboration

The minister stated that NIMC and NIS are fully integrated for tracking citizens' data through national documents, significantly enhancing their protection and reliability.

Tunji-Ojo assured that the government is aware of its responsibility for protecting citizens' data and that all necessary measures are taken to ensure its security.
