Nigeria to introduce multipurpose National ID Card for payment, social services

Nigeria is set to launch a revamped National Identity Card packed with new features, according to the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).

This new card, developed in collaboration with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigeria Inter-bank Settlement System (NIBSS), goes beyond simple identification.

This was revealed in a memo made public via a post on the NIMC’s X page, on Saturday.
