The National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, has informed that a new, multi-purpose national ID card will be distributed to applicants through their various banks.
In consortium with the Nigerian Interbank Settlement System, NIBSS, NIMC aims to streamline the issuance process.
Through its X platform, the NIMC disclosed that the cards will be seamlessly integrated into the existing protocols for issuing Debit/Credit cards by banks.
Applicants are therefore instructed to request their cards, linked with their NIN (National Identification Number), via the self-service online portal, NIMC offices, or their respective banks.
The organization says that the AFRIGO card scheme, a domestic system empowered by NIBSS, will ensure efficiency and reliability in card distribution.
It informed that holders will have the flexibility to collect their cards from designated centers or opt for delivery to their preferred location, although at an additional cost to the applicants.
