Identity verification firm to boost registration of Nigerians in diaspora

BIOSEC Solutions, an identity management consultancy firm, says it will boost enrolment of Nigerians in the diaspora into the National Identity Database.

The Managing Director, BIOSEC solutions, Dr Agu Osoka, said on Tuesday in Lagos that the firm was set to embark on tour of selected European countries.

Osoka said in a statement that the tour was part of the firm’s plan to strengthen collaboration  with the Nigerians in Diaspora Organisation (NIDO).

He said that the tour was billed to take off in London and proceed to the Netherlands and Germany.

According to him, other European countries to be covered in the tour are France, Italy, Portugal and Sweden.

”The collaboration will see BIOSEC Solutions and NIDO engaging in business discussions with high commissioners of the respective countries.

”This is with a view to achieving the mandate of enrolling Nigerians in these countries into the National Identity Database and issuing them the National Identification Number, as well as the General Multipurpose National Identity Card,” he said.

Osoka said that BIOSEC had been in the forefront of working with government institutions and companies in Nigeria by providing forensic analysis and enterprise identity solutions, identity verification services and building software for effective e-governance.

He said that the Nigeria Police recently engaged BIOSEC Solutions alongside its partner, Hardcore Biometrics, to integrate with the National Identity Management Commission, interpol and National  Agency for the Prohibition  of Trafficking in Persons via a robust and secure biometric database to conduct identity verification services.==NAN
