The Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, has reacted to the alleged purchase of his NIN slip online.

The minister stated that the federal government is thoroughly investigating the alleged breaches in its national data system.

The development follows a revelation by a civil society organization that the national identification numbers (NINs), bank verification numbers (BVNs), and other personal data of Nigerians were being sold for as low as N100 on unauthorised websites.

NIMC, on June 22 had denied having partnerships with the websites like Idfinder.com.ng, Verify.ng, Championtech.com.ng, Trustyonline.com, and Anyverify.com; and warned Nigerians against patronising them

But, Gbenga Sesan, the executive director of Paradigm Initiative, in an interview stated that his organisation bought Tijani’s NIN slip for just N100.

Speaking via his X handle on Wednesday, Tijani said the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) and National Data Protection Commission (NDPC) are conducting the probe.

Tijani, who neither confirmed nor denied the data breaches in the X post, said the agencies “are on top of the matter”.

“First, I have engaged my colleague, the Minister of Interior, who supervises the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) and I am aware that his ministry and the agency are on top of the matter,” Tijani said.

“Second, the NDPC, a year-old agency under my supervision as minister, has over the last few months created data compliance mechanisms for all MDAs and has since started a thorough investigation as to the circumstances surrounding this alleged breach.”

Speaking further, Tijani highlighted measures his ministry has put in place to reinforce technology application in government.

The measures, the minister said, have been part of the proactive steps he took upon appointment to help strengthen technology application in government, despite the historical siloed approach to procurement and development.

“For context, in October 2023, a few weeks after my appointment, I released a whitepaper (which you can find here – b.link/NigeriaDPI), elucidating my position on technology application within the public service and our proposed approach to leveraging existing investment in technology to accelerate economic prosperity through improved government processes,” he said.

“The very last paragraph of the whitepaper speaks clearly to how our approach will address and mitigate against issues around data breaches and make our systems secure.

“Since the release of that document, we have initiated the following: Presentation to kick off an alignment with all permanent secretaries highlighting the importance of a structured digital public infrastructure (DPI) approach and the need for data exchange across MDAs to strengthen Nigeria’s cybersecurity oversight for critical DPI

“A 2-day workshop with directors of ICT across all MDAs to enlighten and initiate a plan to strengthen DPI in Nigeria.

“Launched the #DevsInGovernment – a community of practice for all civil servants responsible for technology within the government which serves as a platform for enlightening and securing buy-in across the ICT cadre.”
