According to Punch Nigeria, this initiative reaches one million students and more than 20,000 teachers.\n\nAt MOBEX Africa 2026, former Nigerian Vice President Oluyemi Oluleke Osinbajo called for increased collaboration between African nations to improve digital identity systems and infrastructure. MyJoyOnline Ghana reports that Osinbajo emphasized the need for practical solutions to ensure technology improves the lives of citizens and businesses while giving the continent greater control over its digital future.
