The Director-General, NITDA, Yusuf Kashafu, on Wednesday,
announced the project during the stakeholders’ policy dialogue event on the
‘Implementation of the national blockchain’ in Lagos.
To address the challenge of certificate forgery and
fraudulent issuance, NITDA said it was collaborating with the newly appointed
Director-General, NYSC, Brigadier-General Yusha’u Ahmed, to pioneer the
development of an advanced blockchain-based certificate authentication system.
“The NYS certificate has been a concern due to widespread
cases of forgery and fraudulent issuance,” Kashafu stated.
According to Kashafu, the revolutionary approach was
designed to ensure the integrity and validity of NYSC certificates, thereby
enhancing transparency and trust in the certification process.
Kashafu emphasised blockchain technology’s potential to
bring about a paradigm shift in certificate verification.
He said, “We recognise the urgent need to combat the
prevalent issue of forged NYSC certificates in Nigeria.
“By leveraging blockchain’s power, we aim to establish a
secure, tamper-proof system that will enable individuals, institutions, and
employers to easily verify the authenticity of NYSC certificates.”
