SESSION 6: STRENGTHENING DIGITAL IDENTITY FOR INCLUSIVE EDUCATION ACCESS

Much has been discussed over the years about education identity and its benefits but with a low uptake of edID.ng (Federated Identity) in Nigeria. With the increasing role and significance that Digital Identity now plays in the lives of everyone this Session will review the digital identity eduID.ng platform and the role it potentially plays not only in offering wi-fi mobility but secure campus network management and management of eduroam deployments. This Session will convene a panel of stakeholders for an interactive session with the audience to discuss the prerequisites for eduID.ng adoption and funding models for sustainability.

OBJECTIVES: Defining a roadmap and steps required for eduID.ng uptake. Review the legal agreements to be signed.

EXPECTED OUTCOMES: Signed eduID.ng agreements from participants for follow-up for eduID.ng implementation.
