National Digital Economy and e-Governance Bill 2025
Enabling Nigeria's E-Signature Law with Proof-of-Life Assurance
Nigeria’s imminent passage of the National Digital Economy and e-Governance Bill 2025 marks a decisive shift toward legally binding, end-to-end digital government.
The Bill establishes statutory recognition for electronic signatures across federal and public-sector transactions.
However, legal validity alone does not guarantee trust. For e-signatures to withstand fraud challenges, insider abuse, and post-execution disputes, they must be anchored to high-assurance identity verification with Proof-of-Life.
This is where Environ's Finger-Vein-powered 3FA Live-Sign platform becomes foundational to Nigeria's sovereign digital future.
