The House of Representatives has called on the National Identity Management Commission to redesign the national identity card such that the National Identity Number of the bearer is written on it.

According to him, the NIN, which matches one’s biometrics, is used for virtually all transactions in Nigeria requiring identity verification.

Agbedi said, “Recently, the Commission started issuing a digital ID card which displays only the name, age and nationality of the holder without displaying the NIN number. The Commission failed to include the NIN to the ID card and it has brought untold hardship to the citizens who, in a bid to retrieve their NIN via shortcodes provided by telecommunications providers, pay for the service.”

Adopting the motion, the lawmakers “urge NIMC to further redesign their national identity cards to carry or reflect NIN.”All rights reserved.

The Legislatures should also stop expiry date on the National ID. It takes almost forever to get one, then after 5 years one will go through a very stressful process to acquire another National ID card.
