Smartphones To Be Used For National ID Card Registration - Phones -

Nigerians who may not have done their enrolement for the National ID card
programme will soon be having the opportunity to do so on their
Smartphones.













The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) announced that it had
concluded plans to provide pre-enrolment services on smartphones.

This
is contained in a statement signed by NIMC General Manager on Corporate
Communications Abdulahamid Umar. According to the statement, the step
was taken to ease the sign-up process for Nigerians.

“This
development will ensure that citizens can start their enrolment using
their smart phones, a development that would ensure that in the next
couple of months, citizens, of all ages, would have completed their
demographic enrolment before they proceed to NIMC enrolment centres for
their biometric data capture to complete their enrolment,” the statement
said.

It is believed that the initative will help to decongest
the enrolment centres and also ensure that citizens enroll at their
convenience before the deadline.
