NIMC records 7m registration
The National Identity Card will confirm Nigeria’s population and those entitled to vote, President Muhammadu Buhari said as he was registered on Monday.
This is even as Chris Onyemenam, director-general, National Identity Management Commission (NIMC), said that so far about 7 million Nigerians had been captured in NIMC’s database.
Shortly after he was registered at the Presidential Villa, President Buhari said the National ID card “will complement the exercise of the permanent voters card,” saying that for those who want their votes to count from whichever party or constituency, they should ensure that they and their families were properly captured.
