Trust Stamp, a global provider of AI-powered trust, identity and security solutions announced that it is in strategic discussions with Nigeria's National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) to strengthen Nigeria's digital trust framework. The partnership aims to integrate privacy-first biometric solutions into the nation's rapidly expanding digital economy.

At a meeting in Abuja, NITDA Director General Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi, focused on how "Digital Trust" serves as the primary currency of the digital age. Inuwa emphasized that for Nigeria to achieve its goal of a $1 trillion digital economy, citizens must have absolute confidence that their data is being handled securely and ethically and ​a central pillar of the discussions was Trust Stamp's proprietary biometric tokenization technology. Unlike traditional systems that store actual images of faces or fingerprints, which could be stolen in data breaches; Trust Stamp converts biometric data into an irreversible, anonymized "token."
