President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, today assented to the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) Act 2026.

The new Act, which repeals and replaces the NIMC Act of 2007, is a landmark piece of legislation, signifying a transformative milestone in Nigeria's journey towards a secure, inclusive and digitally empowered nation.

WHAT IS NEW?

1. It provides robust data protection and privacy by introducing stronger safeguards for personal data in alignment with the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) and international best practices, ensuring that Nigerians' personal information is processed, stored and protected in accordance with globally accepted privacy standards.

2. The new law designates NIMC as the root certification authority for Nigeria's National Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), establishing the Commission as the nation's trusted authority responsible for secure digital identity, authentication and electronic trust services.

3. It empowers NIMC to ensure secure, interoperable and seamless data exchange among Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), private organisations and other authorised entities.

4. It positions the NIMC General Multipurpose Card as a versatile identity credential for nationwide identity verification under the theme "One Card, Multiple Possibilities," among other things.

WHY IT MATTERS TO NIGERIANS

The implementation of the Act will deliver significant benefits by creating a trusted, secure and interoperable digital identity ecosystem that enables seamless access to services across both the public and private sectors while strengthening electronic trust across Nigeria's digital economy.

With this new law, Nigerians, even those in the diaspora, can expect wider, easier and more convenient access to identity services; stronger protection of personal data and privacy; enhanced cybersecurity and greater confidence in digital transactions; faster, safer and more secure identity verification and authentication; and a stronger foundation for Nigeria's digital economy, digital governance and long term national development.

Beyond words, this landmark accomplishment renews the trust of Nigerians in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's, GCFR, commitment to building a one trillion dollar economy.

Major cheat code for life: Assume good things are still ahead. You are not behind. You are not too late. You are not disqualified by your past. One new season can change the entire story. Keep showing up with belief. The best chapters are often written after the hardest ones.

FUTO Owerri New VC

The newly appointed VC of FUTO, Professor Ikechukwu Dozie, who took over from the first female VC Prof. Nnenna Otti—who conducted the credible governorship election in Abia State applauded across the globe, has appointed 24 aides within days of assuming office.

The FG has cancelled the appointments and summoned him to Abuja.

Just days into his tenure, Professor Dozie’s administration has been the subject of a national directive. The Federal Ministry of Education ordered him to immediately revoke the controversial appointments of 24 aides, citing violations of regulations governing federal universities.

Interesting!

At this big age when people show signs of hidden animosity or weird energy, I just remove myself. I’m not trying to understand you and I’m not trying to make it make sense

Success has no formula except for grace. I’ve seen all sorts of people succeed. I have seen hard-working people succeed, and I have seen lazy people succeed. I have seen the truthful win and liars triumph. Seen the poor get rich, and the rich get even richer without explanation.

Fortune really doesn’t always reward talent or hardwork.

It rewards consistency sometimes tho.
