The event was graced by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, CON, who represented President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR).
In his remarks, the Honourable Minister stressed the significance of identity management as the ultimate gatekeeping responsibility of the government – one that goes a long way to determine how secure a country is.
“Effective identity management is key to a secure and prosperous nation. And, for everyday we live, our identity will continue to shape how we are perceived in the comity of other nations” he said.
The event availed the NIMC, as a government institution, a unique opportunity to collaborate with some of the finest private sector players and stakeholders who shared stage with the Minister not just as a speaker but also as panelists during various breakout sessions.
During the event, Dr Bunmi Tunji-Ojo unveiled the newly designed logo for the commission and led the presentation of awards to winners of the design competition ranging from primary school category to the tertiary category.
“Our government under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) will continue to explore innovative ideas as well as leverage technology to drive Digital Public Infrastructure that will enable Access to Services for Nigerians, as aptly captured by the theme of the event” the Honourable Minister of Interior stated.
