Clients
  • Petroleum Technology Development Fund
  • Universal Basic Education Commission
Why it matters

Education programmes handle large numbers of applicants and staff, often with limited internal IT capacity. Systems have to be simple to adopt and hard to abuse.

  • Identity at the point of application

    NIN verification for PTDF scholarship applications.

  • Platforms people actually use

    Microsoft 365 licensing and staff training for UBEC.

  • Applicant data protected

    Personal data handled to NDPA requirements.

Challenges

Common challenges

  1. Duplicate and fraudulent applications

    Without identity checks, one person can apply many times.

  2. Low adoption of new tools

    Licences are bought, but staff are not trained to use them.

  3. Applicant and student data

    Large volumes of personal data, sometimes of minors, under the NDPA.

  4. Seasonal peaks

    Application windows concentrate load into a few weeks.
