Adekola said that work on the IDENTICO-BACSAAN subscription platform was nearing completion and ”will soon go live to enable Artisans across the country and, even beyond, key in and benefit from the IDENTICO-BACSAAN economic collaboration.’:
”The subscription platform will be highly user-friendly and will be easily accessible to all Artisans wishing to benefit from the IDENTICO-BACSAAN Economic support programme,” the IDENTICO Chief Executive Officer (CEO) said.

The IDENTICO Managing Director said that the IDENTICO-BACSAAN partnership was ”designed to unfold unlimited economic empowerment opportunities for Nigerian Artisans.”

He assured that once an artisan is recognised by BACSAAN, ”there is no limit to the economic empowerment support we will provide for such artisan as the implementation of the IDENTICO-BACSAAN scheme become stronger”.
