At the unveiling of the brand at Lekki, Identigo Executive Director, Ms Olabusayo Soetan, said the app is to rebuild trust, strengthen security and support decision making across the nation.
While noting the many challenges Nigerians encountered from domestic help with unknown verification, Ms Soetan said the app will assist individuals, private organizations, schools and government verify their employees, certificates, land documents among others to serve as preventive security rather than curative security.
“Identigo was born out of a simple but urgent realization: people and organizations need to know who they’re dealing with before they make critical decisions”. Soetan said
“At Identigo, we believe in preventive security, not curative. We don’t wait for things to go wrong before we act. We work to stop them from going wrong in the first place. We empower our clients with the information they need to prevent fraud, avoid misjudgments, and protect what matters”
