ISLAMABAD – The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) of Pakistan and Nigeria’s Identity Commission have signed an agreement to upgrade the national identity card system in Nigeria.
As a result of the collaboration, Nigeria’s national identity card system is set to undergo a substantial upgrade by NADRA.
The bilateral collaboration, spanning over 15 years, has paved the way for Nadra’s advanced technological solutions to be implemented not only in Pakistan but also in Nigeria, Kenya, and Somalia.
