The new ID card is a single, convenient and General Multipurpose Card (GMPC), which would eliminate the need for multiple cards.
The single GMPC has multiple use cases like payments, government financial intervention services and travel issues.
The commission said the card would be powered by AFRIGO card scheme, an indigenous scheme powered by NIBSS.
Applicants for the card would have to request with their NIN through the self-service online portal, NIMC offices or their respective banks.
A statement from the commission in Abuja, yesterday, said the card would be issued through the applicant’s respective banks in line with existing protocols with the issuance of the debit/credit cards.
“The card can be picked up by holders at the designated centre or delivered to the applicants at the requested location at an extra cost to be borne by the applicants,” the statement added.
