Director General of the
National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), Mr. Chris Onyemenam, presented in Aso Rock, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari his national identity card.
At the event, NIMC disclosed it was processing close to 20 million data from the Bank Verification Number (BVN) scheme.
Buhari was on August 25 registered and present his temporary identity card by the management of NIMC led by Onyemenam.
At the brief event, Buhari was taken through the process of activating his card.
He raised a few questions on how easy it would be to activate the cards in rural areas as well as how long it will take from the day of registration for the commission to present Nigerians with their cards.
Onyemenam later told State House correspondents that he and his team demonstrated to the president how the national identification number could be used to confirm the identity of an individual even if the person was not present.
He said they also presented the electronic card to the president and demonstrated to him how it would be taken round.
