The Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof. Isa Pantami has said that Nigeria is making progress in building a digital economy through the ongoing registration of the National Identification Number (NIN). The Minister stated this at the ongoing ID4Africa 2022 Annual General Meeting taking place in Morocco.

According to him, there are four prerequisites to achieving a digital economy when it comes to citizens’ involvement. The first, he said, is digital identity; second, bank account; third, broadband penetration; and the fourth is smartphone penetration.

As of May 26, 2022, 82.73 million Nigerians had enrolled for the NIN, according to the data released by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).
