The Human Rights Writers Association has described the planned issuance of a new National Identity Card as a misuse of the commonwealth of Nigerians, and a scheme to rip Nigerians of public funds.
Consequently, the group urged President Bola Tinubu, to discontinue the exercise.
It would be recalled that on April 5, 2024, the NIMC announced its collaboration with the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System NIBSS to launch a new card having multiple functionalities, including for social and financial services.
