The Federal Government has reaffirmed its dedication to enhancing the national identity system, calling for full support for the National Identity Management Commission to speed up digital identity enrolment and reforms.
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, stated that Nigerians would need to use the National Identification Number to access social services, including palliatives for the poor and vulnerable.
Akume, represented by Professor Babatunde Bolaji, made the remarks during the opening of an inter-ministerial retreat on the Nigeria Digital Identification for Development Project in Lagos.
