NiRA sends to NITDA for verification by confirming the authenticity of the letter through a standard verification process and approves the requested domain name strictly in line with the .GOV.NG& .MIL.NG Domain Name Policy If the application successfully passes through the verification and approval process, NITDA sends an approval confirmation to the GiddyHost through NiRA. Else, NITDA advises the registrar and registrant on the appropriate next step. The registrar creates the domain and NiRA activates. Check Eligibility
