UDUS Champions Innovative IAM Solution to Transform Nigerian Education

Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto (UDUS) and Datasphir Solutions Limited announce a collaborative pilot program to implement BonafID, an advanced Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution designed for research and education institutions.

BonafID provides an Identity as a Service (IDaaS) solution, utilising open-source software and cloud computing paradigms to elevate Identity and Access Management (IAM) within National Research and Education Networks (NRENs). The cloud-based system issues a lifelong identifier assigned by the first educational institution an individual visits, facilitating seamless transitions between institutions.

"Building on our longstanding relationship with Datasphir and the successful collaboration on EduERP, the next chapter with BonafID represents our commitment to innovation. Together, we are streamlining Identity and Access Management and reinforcing the strong foundation laid by years of collaboration, paving the way for a seamless and efficient educational identity ecosystem."
