Last week, Isa Pantami, minister of communications and digital economy, announced the ‘NIN Tokenization Solution’ feature for NIN.
The virtual NIN is a tokenised version of a person’s actual NIN, which another party verifying the number cannot retain and use in a way that puts the individual’s data privacy at risk.But Adeolu Ogunbanjo, President, National Association of Telecoms Subscribers , said the government must engage stakeholders and industry players before enforcement the policy.
“Why can’t the FG engage stakeholders before coming up with this plan? It is a serious policy, and they didn’t even engage stakeholders. Why can’t we do that?” The Punch quoted him as saying. “Until they discuss with all relevant stakeholders, and we look at the merits and demerits; they can’t impose this on us.”“I do not know why the FG is always rushing things on its citizens, remember when they were also going to start the SIM-NIN linkage, it was announced in a hurry too,” he added.
“Why is this government rushing its citizens without proper enlightenment? Nobody knows what this V-NIN is all about, they are coming up with it this month, and they want to implement it next month. They must start educating the citizenry first.”
