O Ga OO: NIgerian govt plans new national ID card with payment, social features

 


The Federal Government in conjunction with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), is set to launch an enhanced National Identity card, which will be layered with payment capabilities and social service features.

This new card will also be developed in collaboration with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigeria Inter-bank Settlement System (NIBSS) and powered by AfriGO, a national domestic card scheme.

The Head of Corporate Communications of NIMC, Kayode Adegoke, announced this in a statement on Friday.

The national ID card, fortified with verifiable National Identity features, is supported by the NIMC Act No. 23 of 2007, which mandates the enrollment and issuance of a general multipurpose card to Nigerians and legal residents.

The commission said the initiative aims to meet the demand for physical identification, enabling cardholders to verify their identity and access both government and private social services.

The national ID card will promote financial inclusion, empower citizens, and foster increased participation in nation-building endeavours.
