How to apply for new multi-purpose NIMC card
The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has
inaugurated a new card with a lot of features including payment functions for
all types of social and financial services.
According to NIMC, the card will solve the demand for
physical identification enabling cardholders to prove their identity, and
access government and private social services.
NIMC said the card which is the initiative of the President
Bola Tinubu-led administration was designed in partnership with the Central
Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Nigeria Inter-bank Settlement System, and will be
powered by a national domestic card, AfriGO.
With this NIMC card, Nigerians have the opportunity to be
holders of a multipurpose National ID card that can serve the purpose of
identity verification, payments, and even government services.
