Technology company Trust Stamp said on February 17, 2026 that it was discussing biometric identity systems with Nigeria’s National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA).
The announcement followed a meeting in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, about digital trust and protecting personal information.
Okay News reports that the company’s press release, distributed through GlobeNewswire, described discussions and proposed technical work. It did not announce a procurement award, completed deployment or commercial terms.
Trust Stamp said its technology converts biometric information into digital tokens to reduce exposure of the underlying data. The release provided no independent security assessment.
“Trust remains a critical foundation for the growth of the digital economy,” NITDA Director-General Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi said, according to the company’s account.
Trust Stamp said the talks also considered access to identity-verification tools for smaller businesses and regulation supporting private-sector innovation.
The company identified technical workshops as the next proposed step towards a deployment plan for government services and businesses. It gave no dates for those workshops.
