                              In June 2025 TechCabal reported that the Nigerian government was planning to launch a new database that would collect citizens personal information including their names and debts. The database was intended to help the government track and manage debtors but it raised concerns about privacy and data protection.

                                The Nigerian government has announced that starting from 2022 all citizens will be required to link their National Identification Number (NIN) to their borrowing history in order to access loans from financial institutions. This decision is aimed at improving the countrys credit system and reducing the high rate of non-performing loans. The NIN is a unique identification number that is linked to an individuals biometric data and personal information. This move is expected to promote financial inclusion and increase transparency in the lending process.
