A statement from NIMC said plans are underway to open similar card collection centres in all the local government areas (LGAs).
General Manager, Corporate Communications, NIMC, Mr. Abdulhamid Umar said efforts are being made to ensure massive distribution of the cards to the Card Collection Centres, with a view to also issuing the cards to Nigerians in the rural areas as directed by the President Goodluck Jonathan.
It will be recalled that the President urged the commission to ensure that at least 100 million Nigerians are enrolled for the National Identification Number and issued their e-ID Cards, at the launch of the National e-ID Card on 28th August 2014, in Abuja.
According to the President, ordinary Nigerians must benefit from the use of the card. “The card builds a window to a social security benefit system and therefore, it is a card every Nigerian should get.”
Mr. Umar further confirmed that although not all local government areas have enrolment centres, efforts are seriously ongoing to ensure that Enrolment and Card collection centres are established in all the local government areas.
