The Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) and the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to integrate Nigeria’s digital identity and national addressing systems to improve public service delivery, logistics, planning and digital governance.
The agreement, signed on Friday in Abuja, will align the National Digital Postcode system with the National Identification Number (NIN) platform to support the development of a unified digital infrastructure.
The MoU was signed by Tola Odeyemi, Postmaster General and Chief Executive Officer of NIPOST, and Abisoye Coker-Odusote, Director General and Chief Executive Officer of NIMC.
Speaking at the ceremony, Odeyemi said the partnership would strengthen the use of identity and location data in government planning, service delivery and logistics.
She said integrating identity and location information would improve access to public services, enhance emergency response and support location-based planning.
